Pre-Testing

Visual Acuities

The visual assessment of a patients’ corrected and uncorrected vision is documented as a baseline measurement at each office visit. This is recorded for both distance and near vision and is monitored for changes over time.

Binocular testing is important to rule out strabismus, amblyopia and/or lazy eye. It involves determining how well your eyes coordinate together and how they recognize depth perception. This part of the eye exam is performed via Cover Testing, Near Point Convergence Testing, Broad H Testing and Stereo Acuity measurements.

Colour Vision Testing

Colour Vision Testing is performed on pediatric patients and all firemen/policemen to rule out colour decencies. Some eye diseases can be detected by measuring and monitoring changes in colour vision?

Slit Lamp Biomicroscopy
