Eye Care for The Whole Family

Eye Care for The Whole Family
Your vision is important to us, and good eyesight
starts with a complete eye exam. A thorough eye
examination plays a significant role in
preventive health care.As many eye problems show
no visible signs or symptoms, you may be unaware
of an existing condition.

How Long does a Comprehensive Eye Exam Take?
A comprehensive eye test can take from 45-60
minutes. It depends on the patients needs and
how many tests are performed.
What is a Comprehensive Eye Exam?
In a complete eye exam, the optometrist examines
the entire eye and visual system. The eye
examination can detect eye diseases, disorders,
and health problems such as glaucoma, cataracts,
retinal detachments and macular degeneration and
high blood pressure.

Patient History

Your optometrist will ask about your overall eye
health. This might include enquiring when any
vision problems began, a work-related environment
that might affect your vision, or eye conditions
existing in your family. Together with your
optometrist, you will discuss your visual needs
at home, work, or free time including
vision-related hobbies.

Visual Acuity
Among the first tests performed in a
comprehensive vision test, are the visual acuity
tests that evaluate how clearly each eye can see.
Preliminary Tests
Preliminary tests assess depth perception, colour
vision, eye muscle movements, peripheral or side
vision, and how your pupils respond to light.
Refraction
This refraction exam defines the lens
prescription for your eyeglass or contact lens
with precise measures.

What to expect after your comprehensive eye exam?
Additional testing is sometimes needed to confirm
or rule out potential issues. Our optometrists
will apply their professional knowledge,
experience, and judgment to create appropriate
prescription lenses, develop eye training, or
recommend a medical-surgical treatment based on
the results.Aldenaire Healthcare has lined up for
you.
