Eye Tests
As Optometrists our main role is to test the eye for visual error which may be corrected by spectacles or contact lenses as well as screening for eye problems which may not be correctable by simply putting on a pair a of glasses. Certain conditions if detected that may require further medical investigations by an Ophthalmologist, e.g. glaucoma.
Test include;
– Tonometry (Glaucoma Screening)
– Slit lamp biomicroscopy
– Age Related Macular Degeneration Screening
– Visual field testing (if required)
– Retinal Photography
Childrens Sight Tests
An uncorrected visual error in a child can seriously impact on their development so early detection of possible visual anomalies is essential. Parents should be aware that in cases where there is family history of eye problems such as a squint, early sight testing is advised. Various essential tests are performed including checking for “lazy” eyes and/or squints.
