The Eye TestThe eye test is an important health check as not only is it used to diagnose any visual error, but it can also be part of a more comprehensive health screening for both eye and general diseases.
The first part which is carried out involves the use of an ophthalmoscope to look inside the eye to view the retina and other internal structures.This can help detect any underlying eye disease,(eg:cataracts/glaucoma) and also systemic diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure.A series of examinations are also carried out to check for signs of disease on the front of the eye,measure the visual fields and also internal eye pressures. The second part of the examination involves a series of tests to check the level of vision and to determine any necessary eye prescription for glasses or contact lenses.This not just examines the level of vision in each eye, but also how the vision in both eyes works together and balances out.
1. Blurred distance vision 2. Blurred close/near vision 3. Double vision,either temporary or permanent. 4. Shadows/spots or floaters especially if has occurred recently or more frequently. 5. Pain in eye or in eye region 6. Eye or eyelid redness/inflammation 7. Change in color vision. 8. Excessive tears or the opposite eye dryness/grittiness. If you are it is important to consult an eye care professional as soon as possible for further investigation and a full eye test.
