Comprehensive Eye Examination The clinic operates specialized examination programs for presbyopia and cataracts, refractive surgery, and the early detection of major eye diseases. Depending on the patient’s age, symptoms, family history, and intended treatment, examinations may include: -Visual-acuity and detailed refraction testing -Slit-lamp examination -Corneal curvature, thickness, and tomography -Corneal endothelial-cell analysis -Tear-film and ocular-surface assessment -Pupil-size and dominant-eye testing -Ocular biometry using ultrasound or optical measurement -Intraocular-pressure testing -Fundus photography -Wide-field retinal imaging using Optos -Optical coherence tomography of the macula and optic nerve -Visual-field testing when glaucoma is suspected -Avellino genetic testing when appropriate for refractive-surgery assessment These examinations help determine suitability for vision-correction surgery and support the early detection of cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, retinal abnormalities, and other conditions that may initially develop without noticeable symptoms.
