Comprehensive Eye Examination
A detailed and structured evaluation of visual function and ocular health, designed to detect refractive errors, assess eye structures, and identify early or established eye disease across all age groups.
A comprehensive eye examination provides a complete evaluation of both visual function and ocular health. It begins with measurement of visual acuity and refraction to determine the need for corrective lenses and to assess clarity of vision. Intraocular pressure is measured to screen for glaucoma, while slit-lamp biomicroscopy allows a detailed assessment of the anterior segment, including the cornea, anterior chamber, iris, and lens.
Posterior segment evaluation is carried out through dilated fundus examination, supported by fundus imaging when indicated. This allows examination of the retina, macula, and optic nerve head for signs of glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and other retinal or optic nerve disorders. Special attention is given to subtle changes that may precede visual symptoms, ensuring early detection.
The examination is tailored to the patient’s age, ocular history, lifestyle, and systemic health. Risk factors such as diabetes, hypertension, neurological disorders, and medications are considered when interpreting findings. The structured approach also includes assessment of binocular vision, ocular motility, and visual fields where relevant. The goal is to provide an accurate baseline for ocular health, identify any existing pathology, and guide individualized follow-up and management.
