Eye Exam

An eye examination is a battery of tests performed by an optometrist or ophthalmologist assessing vision and ability to focus on and discern objects, as well as other tests and examinations pertaining to the eyes. All people should have periodic and thorough eye examinations as part of routine primary care, especially since many eye diseases are silent or asymptomatic.

Glaucoma Test

There are a few variations of the glaucoma test. The purpose of all of them is to measure the pressure inside your eye. The most common glaucoma test is the "puff-of-air" test, technically known as the non-contact tonometer. (This test was immortalized by Rachel on the TV show Friends, who couldn't sit still for it.)

For this test, the eye doctor will again start by having you put your chin on the machine's chin rest. While you look at a light inside the machine, the doctor will line it up and puff a small burst of air at your open eye. It is completely painless, and the tonometer does not come in contact with the eye. Based on your eye's resistance to the puff of air, the machine calculates your intraocular pressure.

The other type of glaucoma test is performed with an applanation tonometer. While there are several versions of this instrument, the most common is mounted on the slit lamp. For this test, the doctor will put a yellow eyedrop in your eye that numbs it. Your eyes will feel slightly heavy when the drops start working. This is not a dilating drop - it is simply a numbing agent combined with a yellow dye. Then the doctor will have you stare straight ahead in the slit lamp while he or she touches a bright-blue glowing instrument to the front of each eye and manually measures the intraocular pressure.

Applanation tonometry is also painless. At most, you may feel the tonometer probe tickle your eyelashes. The whole test takes just a few seconds. Since glaucoma is often the result of an increase of pressure inside the eye, these are important tests for ensuring the long-term health of your eyes.

Color Blindness Test

Color blindness is an inaccurate term to describe a lack of perceptual sensitivity to certain colors, a more precise term is Color Vision Deficiency (CVD). Color blindness is the most commonly used term though it is misleading if taken literally, because colorblind people CAN see colors, but cannot make out the difference between some couples of complementary colors. Color vision deficiency is not related to visual acuity at all and is most commonly due to an inherited condition. Red/Green color vision deficiency is by far the most common form, about 99%, and causes problems in distinguishing reds and greens. Another color vision deficiency Blue/Yellow also exists, but is rare and there is no commonly available test for it.

Eyeglass Adjustment

Modern eyeglasses can correct most vision problems you're likely to run across - that's probably why one out of five people wear them. But despite their usefulness, a pair that's not fitting quite right can give you a lot of trouble.

Nose Pads Replacement

Eyeglass wearers know that occasionally they must replace eyeglass nose pads. Sweat residue causes them to become dirty, and turns them yellow or greenish over time. Most people want a cleaner-looking pair. Nose pads can also break off, and you must repair the eyeglasses so that you can wear them properly. Knowing how to do this simple glasses repair can come in handy.

Screw Replacement

If you wear eyeglasses on a regular basis, or if you only wear sunglasses, you know that accidents will and do happen. Not only that, but wearing the same pair of eyeglasses day - to - day can loosen the screws and the springs, as well as other parts.

Eyeglass Cleaning

The saying goes that eyes are the windows to the soul. Keep your visual environment clean and clear by cleaning your eyeglass lenses carefully and regularly.

Lens Wiper

Eyeglass wipers are provided for a pair of eyeglasses embodying a frame with a pair of lenses therein. Each of the eyeglass wipers consists of a wiper arm mounted at one end to a housing pivotly connected to one end and positioned forwardly of the frame. A mechanism is built into the housing for manually swinging the wiper arm across surface of the lenses and spraying lense cleaning fluid from the wiper arm onto the surface of the lense for maintaining the lense clean.
