Comprehensive Eye Examination
Elevate your vision care with our comprehensive eye examination at Mooikloof Optometrists. Such examinations are pivotal for early identification of eye-related concerns and adjusting to vision shifts but also gauge your holistic health and spot potential anomalies linked to latent conditions.
How frequently should I schedule a comprehensive eye examination?
Our eye care specialists advise undergoing an in-depth examination at least once a year to once every two years. Nevertheless, for individuals above 60, those with pre-existing conditions like diabetes, or those with familial history of vision impairment, an annual check-up is strongly recommended.
What does a comprehensive examination involve?
While the exam may be tailored based on your personal requirements and health background, it typically begins with diving into your medical lineage and overall well-being. Our certified optometrists will delve into your and your family's health records and address any issues you might have faced recently, like vision alterations or frequent headaches.
The examination will encompass the following:
- Visual Clarity Check: This assesses the vision quality of each eye. Every eye is evaluated separately using varied lenses and a character board.
- Prescription Evaluation: This analysis determines if you need corrective aids like glasses or contacts. It also ascertains the ideal lens prescription to ensure your vision is both comfortable and sharp.
- Back-of-the-Eye Inspection: Commonly termed as ophthalmoscopy, this allows our optometrists to inspect your eye's interior. After dilating your pupils with drops, they'll evaluate parts like the retina, the optic nerve head, and the vessel network.
- Glaucoma Evaluation: This measures intraocular pressure. Elevated pressure can be an indicator of glaucoma or a predisposition to it. Early diagnosis of glaucoma is crucial to prevent potential total vision loss.
Post-examination, you'll receive a detailed report on your vision wellness. Our optometrists will provide any prescriptions or follow-up consultations if required. For a practical examination, it's helpful to bring your current eyewear and note any issues or changes you've noticed before your visit.
