An eye examination plays an essential role in maintaining your overall health and wellness and is important in detecting conditions such as:
- Glaucoma, cataracts and other eye conditions
- Diabetes, blood pressure and other general health conditions
- Changes in the spectacle prescription
A home eye examination is similar to an eye test in a practice and includes an assessment of the external and internal eye, a refraction to determine the correct spectacle prescription, and measurement of the Intra Ocular Pressure (IOP).
Tests such as pupil dilation and visual fields are sometimes needed if a patient is considered at risk of glaucoma, retinal detachment or other eye disease.
