Comprehensive Eye Exams
Regular eye exams are essential for detecting issues early and ensuring optimal vision. The right prescription can reduce blurriness, strain, and focus problems. At Digby Eye Associates, we provide personalized care tailored to your health and lifestyle.
Tests Included
A comprehensive eye exam assesses vision and overall eye health. It includes tests for nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, muscle function, depth perception, peripheral vision, glaucoma, and color perception. A microscope evaluates the pupil response, optic nerve, retina, cornea, and lens.
Glasses
After an eye exam, many customers choose to purchase prescription glasses or contacts. We offer a wide selection at great prices, including high-quality lenses like Varilux S, hi-index, polycarbonate, and transitions. With top brands and various styles, you can find the perfect fit for your vision and lifestyle.
Types of Comprehensive Eye Exam Tests
We have the equipment and know-how to diagnose any ophthalmological issue. Even patients with 20/20 vision can benefit from our comprehensive eye examinations, as there are diseases that may not manifest noticeable symptoms in early stages.
Visual Acuity or Refraction Test
A visual acuity or refraction test checks vision clarity and identifies issues like nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. It helps determine if corrective lenses are needed.
Muscle Function Test
This test detects eye muscle weakness by assessing deficiencies in eye movement. It helps identify issues with muscle control, coordination, or alignment, which can affect vision and overall eye function.
Binocular Vision Test
This test evaluates whether your eyes work together properly as a pair to ensure optimal depth perception. By assessing eye coordination and alignment, it helps detect any issues that could affect binocular vision, depth judgment, or overall visual efficiency.
Visual Field Test
This test measures the strength and range of your peripheral vision, which is your ability to see objects outside your direct line of sight. It can help detect eye diseases such as glaucoma or neurological disorders that may affect visual field function, ensuring early diagnosis and treatment.
Eye Pressure Test
This test measures intraocular pressure to check for elevated levels that could indicate potential eye health issues. High intraocular pressure is a key risk factor for glaucoma, a condition that can lead to vision loss if left untreated, making early detection essential for preserving eye health.
Color Vision Screening
This test evaluates your ability to perceive and distinguish different colors accurately. It helps detect color vision deficiencies, such as red-green or blue-yellow color blindness, which can be inherited or caused by certain eye conditions or diseases.
Eye Health Assessment
This test uses a slit-lamp microscope to closely examine various structures of the eye, including the pupil response, optic nerve, retina, cornea, and lens. It helps detect a range of eye conditions, such as cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and corneal abnormalities, ensuring a detailed assessment of overall eye health.
