<\/div>
A basic eye examination includes measurement of visual acuity with prescription of glasses, measurement of intraocular pressure (tonometry), and examination of the anterior (cornea and lens) and posterior (retina) segments of the eye.

In addition to the basic eye examination, specific examinations are performed to diagnose and plan treatment for different eye diseases such as cataract, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetes, uveitis and dry eye.<\/div><\/header>

Complete eye exam<\/span><\/h3><\/div>
It’s important to be examined by an eye doctor to have a complete view of the eye. The eye exam performed by opticians assess only your visual acuity and the type of glasses needed.<\/div><\/header><\/div><\/div>

Become aware of hidden visual issues <\/span><\/h3><\/div>
If your vision remains poor despite prescription, it means you have another type of vision problem that only an eye specialist can diagnose and treat.<\/div><\/header><\/div><\/div>

Eye examination is important even in absence of symptoms<\/span><\/h3><\/div>
There are severe eye diseases, like glaucoma, that don’t give visual symptoms until they have caused irreversible damage. For this reason, periodic eye exams are advised, especially after age 45.<\/div><\/header><\/div><\/div>

Eye examination by the eye specialist<\/span><\/h3><\/div>
An eye exam performed by an ophthalmologist is a comprehensive examination that not only assesses vision based on prescription, but also evaluates the entire visual system, from the anterior portion of the eye to the visual areas of the brain. This examination can show early signs of diseases such as cataract, glaucoma, or macular degeneration.<\/div><\/header><\/div><\/div>

General health issues<\/span><\/h3><\/div>
An eye exam performed by an ophthalmologist can reveal serious health problems that the patient may not be aware of. Diseases such as diabetes, systemic hypertension, and the risk of stroke can cause eye changes that can be detected early by the ophthalmologist.<\/div><\/header><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
