What to During Your Eye Exam at West Linn Vision Center
When you come in for an eye exam at , you can expect a detailed and thorough evaluation of your eye health and vision. Our comprehensive eye exams include:
- Medical History Review: We start by reviewing your medical history and discussing any vision problems or concerns you may have. This helps us understand your overall health and any factors that might affect your eyes.
- Visual Acuity Test: This test measures the sharpness of your vision. Using an eye chart, we determine how well you can see at various distances.
- Refraction Assessment: We use a phoropter to determine your exact prescription for glasses or contact lenses. This test helps us identify any refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
- Eye Muscle Function Test: This test evaluates the muscles that control eye movement, ensuring they are functioning properly and that your eyes are working together as a team.
- Peripheral Vision Test: We check your side vision to ensure there are no issues with your peripheral vision, which could indicate underlying health problems.
- Pupil Response Test: This test examines how your pupils respond to light and objects at various distances, helping us assess the health of your optic nerve and overall neurological function.
- Intraocular Pressure Measurement: Using a tonometer, we measure the pressure inside your eyes to check for glaucoma, a condition that can lead to vision loss if left untreated.
- Retinal Examination: We use advanced imaging technology to examine the back of your eye, including the retina, optic disc, and blood vessels. This helps us detect any signs of eye diseases or conditions such as diabetic retinopathy or macular degeneration.
