Let’s break it down!
An Optometrist is your go-to eye health pro — not just for glasses, but for your overall vision wellness. 🧠✨
Here’s what typically happens during an eye exam:
🔹 Visual Acuity Test – How clearly can you see near & far?
🔹 Lens Prescription – Need glasses or contacts? We’ve got you.
🔹 Eye Movement & Alignment – Making sure your eyes are working together 👀
🔹 Colour Vision & Depth Perception – Seeing the world in full detail 🌈
🔹 Slit Lamp Exam – A closer look at your eye’s front structures, like the cornea & tear film
🔹 Retinal Imaging – Checking the health of your retina, macula, and optic nerve
🔹 Eye Pressure Check – Important for detecting glaucoma
🔹 Visual Field Test – Spotting potential neurological or retinal issues
👓 Plus, optometrists can treat common conditions like dry eye & allergies, and work with ophthalmologists for surgical care before or after procedures.
Your eyes do so much for you — make sure they’re in good hands! 💙
