Eye Exams

The doctors at Vaughan Mills Eye Clinic will perform several vision tests and screen your eyes for retinal and corneal disorders and discuss your test results with you afterwards. They will explain your prescription and give you a better understanding of your overall eye health.

Steps that you can expect in a typical eye exam include:

• Case History: Review of your general health, medications you may be taking, working environment, hobbies, etc. You will also be asked to describe any vision problems you may be experiencing.
  
  
• Internal & External Eye Health: An internal and external examination of your eyes for signs of possible disorders, such as cataracts or retinal problems.
  
  
• Current Prescription Check: If you have a prescription, our doctor will evaluate your current prescription.
  
  
• Visual Acuity: A test of your ability to see clearly at all distances.
• Refraction: A test for your eyes’ ability to focus light rays exactly on the retina from a distance and close-up.
  
  
• Tononometry: Measures the fluid pressure in the eye and is an important test in detecting glaucoma.
  
  
• Visual Coordination: A test for eye coordination and muscle control.
  
  
• Focusing Ability: Measures your eyes’ ability to change focus.
