EYE EXAMINATIONS
WHAT CAN I EXPECT?
Your complete eye examination will typically take 30-40 minutes. We are focused on maintaining good eye health through comprehensive examinations and the education of our customers. The examination will comprise of the following…
Patient History – Checks the patient’s presenting symptoms, general health, medication usage, family history, ocular history etc.
Vision – Evaluates how clearly each eye is seeing for both distance and near vision.
Preliminary Tests – Evaluates specific aspects of visual function and eye health.
Keratometry – Measures the curvature, regularity and stability of the cornea, the clear outer surface, or ‘window’ of the eye, through which you see.
Refraction – Determines the appropriate lens power to compensate for any visual error, i.e. shortsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism etc.

WE OFFER OCT SCANS
An optical coherence tomography scan (commonly referred to as an OCT scan) allows us to see what's going on under the surface of the eye, allowing us to see what's going on with the eyes in greater detail.
Consider it like a cake: with 2D optical retinal imaging (fundus camera), we can see the top of the cake and the icing, but an OCT scan produces a 3D image that cuts the cake in half.
