Regular eye exams are essential for maintaining good vision and overall eye health. At Tsawwassen Optometry Clinic, we design our comprehensive eye exams to evaluate your vision thoroughly and detect any potential eye conditions early. Our experienced optometrists use the latest technology to provide you with the highest standard of care.
What to Expect During Eye Exams at Tsawwassen Optometry Clinic
Our comprehensive eye exams include several key components to ensure a complete assessment of your vision and eye health:
Patient History
We begin by discussing your medical history, any current eye or vision problems, and your family history of eye conditions. This helps us understand any factors that may affect your eye health.
Visual Acuity Testing:
We measure how clearly you see at various distances using a standardized eye chart. This test helps determine if you need corrective lenses and what prescription is required.
Refraction Assessment
Using a series of lenses, we determine the exact prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses that provide you with the clearest vision.
Binocular Vision Testing
We evaluate how well your eyes work together, checking for issues such as strabismus (crossed eyes) or binocular vision problems that can affect depth perception and reading.
Eye Health Evaluation
Using advanced diagnostic equipment, we examine the internal and external structures of your eyes. This includes checking for signs of cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and other eye conditions.
Ocular Pressure Measurement
We measure the pressure inside your eyes (intraocular pressure) to screen for glaucoma, a condition that can lead to vision loss if not detected early.
Pupil Dilation
In some cases, we may use eye drops to dilate your pupils, allowing us to get a better view of the retina and optic nerve at the back of your eyes.
