COMPREHENSIVE EYE EXAMS AND PEDIATRIC EYE EXAMS
As part of your comprehensive examination, Dr. K will assess vision, binocular vision, neurological evaluation including pupils, peripheral vision, and eye movements, and ocular health. Your ocular health evaluation includes screening for glaucoma, cataracts, and diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and macular degeneration.

- Binocular Vision
- Neurological Evaluation
- Ocular Health
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-sighted), 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.
To ensure that the “wiring” between the brain and eyes is working correctly, there are a few tests that need to be done at every exam. These include pupil function in both dim and bright lighting, ocular motilities (make sure both eyes are able to move freely in all directions), and peripheral vision. Further testing is done is there is a problem found during this part of the exam.
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 which are initially not noticed by the patient. Additionally, there are many eye diseases that can be inherited from family; these include glaucoma and macular degeneration.
