Eye Exams
An eye exam is a comprehensive evaluation of your vision and eye health, assessing your ability to focus, distinguish objects, and detect any underlying conditions. Regular eye exams are essential for maintaining good vision and early detection of eye-related issues, such as refractive errors, glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. At Revere Health, we offer thorough eye exams to ensure optimal eye health and, if necessary, provide prescription eyewear or recommend further treatment options.
What to Expect During an Eye Exam
Visual Acuity Test: This test measures how clearly you can see at various distances, often involving reading letters from a chart.
Refraction Test: Determines your prescription for corrective lenses (glasses or contact lenses) by assessing how light bends as it passes through the eye.
Eye Muscle Function: Assesses the movement of your eyes to ensure proper alignment and muscle coordination.
Pupil Response: Evaluates how your pupils respond to light, which can reveal potential issues with the optic nerve or brain function.
Slit-Lamp Examination: A specialized microscope allows the eye doctor to examine the front of your eye, including the cornea, iris, and lens, for signs of damage or disease.
Tonometry: Measures the pressure inside the eye to screen for glaucoma, a condition that can lead to vision loss if untreated.
Retinal Exam: Using a light and magnifying lens, the doctor examines the back of your eye, including the retina and optic nerve, to check for conditions such as diabetic retinopathy or macular degeneration.
Why Eye Exams Are Important
Early Detection of Eye Conditions: Many eye diseases, such as glaucoma or macular degeneration, develop slowly and can be detected early with regular eye exams, preventing serious complications.
Vision Correction: Eye exams ensure that your prescription for glasses or contact lenses is up to date, helping you see clearly and avoid eye strain or headaches.
Overall Eye Health: Eye exams not only assess your vision but also provide important information about your overall health, as some conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure can affect your eyes.
