Types of Eye Exams and Consultations

General Eye Exams & Consultations

Comprehensive Eye Exam

A Comprehensive Eye Consultation is a thorough eye check-up that assesses vision, eye health, and potential conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, or retinal diseases. It includes tests for visual acuity, refraction, eye pressure, and a detailed evaluation by the doctor. Ideal for routine check-ups or unexplained vision issues.

Follow-Up Consultation

 Scheduled after initial treatment or diagnosis to monitor progress, manage recovery, and adjust treatment if needed, ensuring effective ongoing care.

Specialized Eye Exams & Consultations

Cataract Consultation

A Cataract Consultation evaluates blurry vision and cataract progression. It includes an eye exam, lens assessment, and treatment discussion to determine the best care for clearer vision.

Retinal Consultation

A Retinal Consultation focuses on diagnosing and managing retinal conditions like diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration. It includes a dilated retina exam and treatment recommendations.

Glaucoma Consultation

A Glaucoma Consultation evaluates eye pressure, optic nerve health, and vision field. It helps prevent vision loss with timely diagnosis and management.

Pediatric Eye Consultation

A Pediatric Eye Consultation evaluates children’s vision, eye alignment, and overall eye health. It helps detect and manage conditions like myopia, lazy eye, or strabismus early for the best treatment outcomes. A cycloplegic refraction will be performed if needed.

Dry Eye Consultation

A Dry Eye Consultation identifies the cause of dry, irritated eyes through a detailed assessment. It includes an evaluation of tear film quality and Meibomian gland function, followed by personalized treatment recommendations for lasting relief.

Refractive Consultation

A Refractive Consultation evaluates your vision to determine the best options for correcting refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It includes tests to assess your prescription and suitability for glasses, contact lenses, or vision correction treatments.

Myopia Progression Consultation

If your child has been diagnosed with myopia, regular measurement of the eyeball length is crucial to determine myopia progression and adjust the treatment if needed.

Contact Lens Consultation

A Contact Lens Consultation assesses your eye health and vision to determine the best type of contact lenses for your needs, a fitting, and guidance on proper lens care to ensure comfort and optimal vision.

Eye Consultation for Diabetics

An Eye Consultation for Diabetics focuses on detecting and managing diabetes-related eye conditions like diabetic retinopathy and macular edema. It includes a detailed retinal examination, with dilation, and advanced imaging to monitor eye health and prevent vision loss.

Advanced Diagnostics

OCT Scan

An OCT Scan (Ocular Computed Tomography) is a non-invasive imaging test that provides detailed cross-sectional images of the retina and optic nerve. It helps diagnose and monitor conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and retinal detachment.

Corneal Topography

Corneal Topography is a detailed mapping of the cornea’s surface, used to detect irregularities, diagnose conditions like keratoconus, and plan treatments such as contact lenses or surgery.

Biometry

Biometry measures the eye’s length and corneal curvature to determine the correct lens power for cataract treatment, myopia progression, refractive lens exchange, and other vision correction procedures.

Ultrasound

Ultrasound is an imaging test that uses sound waves to create detailed images of the eye, helping detect retinal detachments, tumors, or other conditions when the view is blocked by cataracts or bleeding.

Dry eye test/Meibomogram

A Dry Eye Test/Meibomogram evaluates tear film quality and meibomian gland function to diagnose dry eye syndrome and determine the best treatment for lasting relief.

Fluorescence Angiography

Fluorescence Angiography is a diagnostic imaging test that uses a special dye to highlight blood flow in the retina and evaluate conditions like diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration.

Fundus Photography

Fundus Photography captures detailed images of the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels to help diagnose and monitor eye conditions like diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and glaucoma.

Pachymetry

Pachymetry measures the thickness of the cornea, helping diagnose and manage conditions like glaucoma and keratoconus or assess suitability for certain eye treatments.
