There are more than a dozen factors contributing to good eyesight. And many a time, early symptoms of vision defects go unnoticed. Which is why, we have a comprehensive, extensively detailed eye test that comprises of 20 elaborate steps. We make sure that every aspect of your eye is examined and assessed by our well-trained optometrists. Here’s how the 20 steps go & why exactly each one of them is important!
The optometrist understands the symptoms or problems faced by the customer to form a tentative diagnosis.
A general enquiry will be made about the customer’s overall health and earlier treatments, surgeries or eye check-ups, if any to make the most accurate conclusions on the customer’s eye health.
The optometrist inspects for abnormalities in the eyes and observes pupillary reactions, & records findings.
Spectacles are checked for power, centration and defects that may be presently affecting the customer’s vision, possibly causing discomfort or vision-related unease.
The vision of each eye is checked & recorded for distant and near vision.
The functionality of six muscles of the eye will be tested in this step of the test to gauge the overall health of the customer’s eyes.
The Cover Test determines if the alignment of the eyes is proper & identifies the type of squint, if any is discovered in the customer.
The optometrist checks the ability of the eyes to converge on a nearby object, ensuring clarity of near vision.
Computerized power checking is done to estimate refractive errors to determine if you have myopia, hypermetropia, presbyopia or astigmatism, thereby identifying where the vision-related problem originates.
Helps in discovering the right cylindrical axis so that the customer enjoys the most precise vision.
Helps in determining precise cylindrical power.
Allows the optometrist to determine refractive errors by controlling accommodation.
Helps in determining accurate spherical power so under or over correction can be verified.
Detects if the accommodation has been at rest or balanced for both the eyes.
A test for people with presbyopia, which determines the working distance required by the customer for reading or any other day-to-day activity.
A test for people with presbyopia where the optometrist considers the customer’s old near-power, lifestyle & working distance to calculate & arrive at the right near-power for current comfort.
Checks the anterior parts of the eye & detects abnormalities (like cataract, corneal opacities etc.), if any.
Conducted to rule out the condition of colour blindness.
All the test results are correlated to arrive at the final power required to help the customer see with ease.
The optometrists explain the outcome in simple language to the customer & give suggestions to improve eye health.
