Your exact prescription is determined through a process called refraction. Through this subjective process, a comfortable prescription that allows good vision is arrived at. Some of the conditions that will be assessed include myopia (near-sightedness), hyperopia (far-sighted), presbyopia (difficulty reading), and astigmatism.
Your eyes need to work well as a team in both movements and focusing to allow good and comfortable vision. If they do not, your ability to read for a long period of time will be compromised. Dr. K will evaluate how well the eyes work as a team, and if any treatment is necessary.
The anterior portion of the eye is evaluated with a microscope, including the cornea, lens, conjunctiva, and eyelids. The posterior part of the eye, or the retina, is the only place in the body where the blood vessels can be observed without an invasive procedure. Observing these vessels can reveal a lot about the body. That is why it is very important to let us know any systemic ailments you might have along with any medications; several medications can have effects on the eye that are initially not noticed by the patient.
A dilated examination of the retina allows a wide and unobstructed view of the retina. Many systemic diseases can be seen and followed by evaluating the blood vessels and optic nerve. The fascinating thing about the eye is that is the only place in the body where blood vessels can be observed without an invasive procedure. This enables the detection and monitoring of many conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and glaucoma.
