The spectacle prescription is ascertained by at least two different methods and the eyes are examined externally and internally for conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, macula degeneration and retinal detachments. Retinal photographs are taken using a digital fundus camera and the images are stored on a computer for comparison on future visits. The ocular effects of systemic conditions such as diabetes and raised blood pressure can also be detected and monitored with our imaging systems. Occasionally, eye drops are required to dilate the pupils or relax the muscles inside the eye. Additional tests for binocular vision, intra-ocular pressures, visual field analysis and colour vision are performed when necessary.
At the first appointment we aim to gather as much information as possible regarding ocular history, general health and family history. Details of previous prescriptions for glasses, contact lenses and medication are also extremely valuable along with information regarding lifestyle and specific optical requirements.
After the eye examination, advice is given on the most suitable visual correction. Occasionally a second appointment is required for further tests or specialist examinations and if necessary we will liaise with a patient’s doctors and specialists.
