Comprehensive Eye Exams
A comprehensive eye exam at Trojan Eye Center begins with a thorough assessment of the patient's medical history and current vision concerns. The exam includes visual acuity testing to determine clarity at various distances, as well as a check of the eye's internal and external structures using advanced diagnostic tools. Eye pressure is measured to screen for glaucoma, and the health of the retina and optic nerve is evaluated through pupil dilation and examination with specialized equipment. The optometrist also assesses eye coordination and peripheral vision. Following the exam, the optometrist discusses findings, provides any necessary prescriptions for glasses or contact lenses, and offers guidance on maintaining optimal eye health. Based on the findings of the exam, we will develop a treatment plan to best suit your individual needs.

These tests provide highly detailed images of the retina and optic nerve, enabling our optometrist to assess the health of your eyes with precision. This technology aids in early detection, monitoring progression, and guiding treatment decisions, contributing significantly to comprehensive eye care management. This comprehensive evaluation is crucial for assessing overall eye health, identifying early symptoms of systemic conditions that can affect the eyes, and ensuring proactive eye care management.
