Comprehensive Eye Examinations
There is a common misconception that if a person sees well, their eyes must be healthy. In fact, many serious, sight-threatening eye diseases have no early warning symptoms. Your optometrist has the skills to detect many of these eye conditions in their early stages.
An eye exam is more than just reading letters off an eye chart – it is a complete, comprehensive exam and detailed examination of your visual ability, vision, and eye health. Your comprehensive eye examination at the Ottawa Optometric Clinic or Westboro Optometric Clinic will include:
- A review of your health and vision history
- Visual acuity examination
- Ocular motility examination
- Refraction (test for nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia)
- Measurement of eye pressure
- Eye health examination
- Retinal imaging
Early intervention gives a person the best possible chance of maintaining good vision. A comprehensive eye examination not only reveals the health of your eyes, but can also be an indicator of your overall health.
Many general health conditions, such as diabetes and high blood pressure can be detected through comprehensive eye examinations.
We often take for granted our ability to see. Your eyes deserve to be examined regularly by an optometrist to help your eyes stay as healthy as they can.
