Examinations
Examinations are provided by the doctor and our highly skilled assistants. The examination will vary depending on the health of the individual and their visual needs.
Typically, it may include:
Medical history Measurement of visual acuity Refraction
Pupil dilation Binocular indirect Ophthalmoscopy (evaluates the back part of the eyes)
Intraocular pressure (glaucoma) analysis Diagnosis Prognosis
Prescription (Lenses or medicine) Corneal Topography (mapping)
Fundus Photography (photos of the inside of the eye)
Visual Field Testing (peripheral vision for glaucoma)
Contact lens fitting for astigmatism/bifocals/nearsighted/farsighted
Foreign body removal Treatment of ocular infection

Finally and most importantly, an unhurried and educational consultation with the doctor. Exam results are explained as they pertain to the patient's eyes including a thorough discussion of options to correct conditions discovered through the exam.

Optomap Retinal Exams
We are proud to offer Optomap Retinal Exams, a new state-of-the-art instrument that allows your doctor to perform a comprehensive retinal examination without the inconvenience and discomfort of dilation. The optomap uses a scanning laser device to create a detailed image of the retina, allowing early detection of diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and retinal detachment which can cause blindness. Your retinal image will be reviewed with you and then stored permanently for comparison of eye health changes on a yearly basis. Feel free to ask for more information about this procedure before your next examination.
