EYE EXAMINATION

The Independent Doctors of Optometry recommend a comprehensive eye exam. The standard examination procedure for a patient who wants to wear eyeglasses includes the following:

• Reviewing vision problems, general health, current medications, working environment, hobbies, etc.
• Examining eyes for signs of possible disorders, including cataracts and retinal problems
• Evaluating current prescription
• Testing eyes' ability to see clearly at all distances
• Measuring the fluid pressure in the eye, which is an important test in detecting glaucoma
• Testing eye coordination and muscle control
• Measuring eyes' ability to change focus

CONTACT LENS EXAMINATION

Examination requirements for patients who wish to wear contact lenses include all of the standard eyeglass examination procedures as well as the following:

• Keratometry
• Diagnostic lens testing (when applicable)
• Additional external examination (biomicroscopy) with and without contact lenses
• Series of follow-up visits to ensure compliance with maintenance and wearing schedules.
