Comprehensive Eye Test
An initial patient interview is conducted to find out your exact needs and problems.One of the most important parts of the eye test process is communication between the optometrist and the patient.This is often skipped because it is considered a time waster for the practitioner. The following protocol will be followed before we begin the technical collection of data about your eyes.
- finding out about you and your vision needs.
- finding out about your previous eye health history
- finding out about your general health and any family history of eye conditions.
Eye Test Consultation
Involves:
- assessing any eye wear and lens care systems in use
- measuring your vision and the focusing ability of your eye
- determining if any eyewear is equired and,if so what prescription gives you the clearest and most comfortable vision possible
- the correct optical correction,whether it is eye glasses,contact lenses or maybevision hygiene may be required.
- assessing your overall eye health,both externally and internally for conditions such as macular degeneration,glaucoma, cataract.,and diabetic related eye conditions.
Recommendations after Examination Completed
We will then discuss the findings with you and make recommendations tailored to your eye health needs. If contact lenses are required, we will help you choose lenses and a lens care system that will be suitable for your visual needs. If contact lenses are prescribed you will be taught how to insert and remove the contact lenses safely and how to clean and care for them correctly. If glasses are required our expert frame stylist will help you choose frames that suit your individual personality, face shape while considering your budget at the same time.
Occasionally referral to an ophthalmologist or other specialists may be required. We are familiar with the best ophthalmologists in their respective specialities.
