comprehensive  eye  exam

Your eyes are one of the most complex organs in your body. A comprehensive eye exam to assess your visual system and eye health involves a number of different of tests. Unlike a simple vision screening, which only assesses your vision, a comprehensive eye exam includes a battery of tests in order to do a complete evaluation of the health of your eyes and your vision. Some of the test may include:
  • Eye muscle test
  • Visual acuity test
  • Refraction assessment
  • Visual field test
  • Color vision testing
  • Slit lamp examination
  • Retina exam
  • Pressure screening
Why do I need a comprehensive eye exam?
Of your five senses, your sight is arguably the most important, which makes caring for your vision very important. The best way to do that is through regular comprehensive eye exams.

While determining whether you have any visions problems is an important part of your comprehensive eye exam, Dr. Christensen will also check your eyes for signs of more serious problems. For example, a simple test called tonometry screens for glaucoma by measuring the fluid pressure in your eyes.

We also check the health of your retina during a comprehensive eye exam, which is especially important for people with diabetes and high blood pressure (hypertension) who are at risk for retinopathy. In addition to glaucoma, we will also check for early signs of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

If you’re having problems with your eyes, such as red eyes or dry eyes, an eye exam provides an opportunity to discuss the problem and get started on a treatment plan.
