Elevate your eye health at Kevern Pappin Optometrists with our detailed vision assessment. Beyond identifying early signs of eye conditions and vision adjustments, these tests can hint at your overall well-being, spotlighting anomalies possibly stemming from underlying issues.
We advise undergoing an in-depth vision assessment every 12 to 24 months. However, for those above 60 or with existing conditions like diabetes or a familial history of vision impairment, annual exams are strongly recommended.
While your exam will be tailored to your unique needs and medical background, we’ll begin by understanding your and your family’s health lineage. Our adept optometrist will delve into any health concerns or symptoms you’ve been facing, such as vision shifts or recurrent headaches.
During your examination, you may undergo:
Visual Clarity Test: This gauges the clarity of each eye’s vision. Lenses and a letter chart will be employed to test each eye individually.
Refraction Evaluation: This inspects the need for visual aids like glasses or contact lenses. The evaluation also pinpoints the precise prescription to optimise your vision.
Retina Checkup: Through ophthalmoscopy, the optometrist gets a detailed view of your eye’s interior, examining areas like the retina, optic disk, and retinal blood vessels. Pupil-dilating eye drops may be used for a clearer view.
Glaucoma Assessment: This screening can identify or assess the risk for glaucoma by measuring eye pressure. Early detection is crucial since untreated glaucoma can lead to total vision loss.
Post-assessment, our optometrist will present a thorough overview of your eye health. They’ll elucidate any prescriptions or added steps needed. For optimal results, come prepared: Bring your existing eyewear and note any recent eye-related symptoms.
