This check is done to know the health of your eye (cornea / retina etc.) This appointment involves a dilated eye examination with our ophthalmologist / eye doctor.

Your Consultation appointment with our doctor includes:

1. Detailed History and Lifestyle Evaluation: A brief discussion to provide the optometrist with information concerning your health and lifestyle background.
2. A measurement of your spectacle power is taken to determine your current prescription strength.
3. Tonometry: Used to measure your eye pressure (Intra Ocular Pressure- IOP). It is a key indicator in diagnosing the eye condition glaucoma.
4. Visual Acuity Testing: Measures the eye’s ability to see objects at near and far distances. The tests usually involve reading letters or looking at symbols of different sizes on an eye chart. Your uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) is what you see without glasses or contact lenses while your best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) is what you see with the optimum spectacle correction in place.
5. Refraction: The optometrist conducts the examination to determine your current prescription and compares this to the readings and previous prescription details to ensure stability. A printed copy of your current refraction is handed to you at the end of your appointment

Please note:

• Patients using contact lenses have to be off -lenses for at least 24 hrs before their consultation appointment.
