What We’re Looking For in an Eye Exam

Dr Kashiana is specially trained to recognise the traits of healthy and unhealthy eyes. When you come in for an eye exam, we’ll test your acuity, peripheral vision, eye teaming, and prescription level.

We’ll also thoroughly screen your eyes for any indication of disease. Many eye diseases and conditions start without any noticeable symptoms, meaning an eye exam is the best way to catch them before they become a serious issue.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is often referred to as the silent thief of sight for the way it slowly damages vision without giving any indication to the victim. The vision loss caused by glaucoma cannot be reversed. It can, however, be slowed down or delayed if the disease is caught early enough. Glaucoma affects the intraocular eye pressure, so we measure this in every exam by blowing a quick puff of air into each eye. This test is called non-contact tonometry.

Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (or AMD) is an eye disease commonly found in seniors. There are two forms of AMD; wet form and dry form. Both wet and dry AMD cause damage to the macula; the part of your retina responsible for your central vision. If this damage gets too severe, it can completely wipe out your central vision. An eye exam gives the optometrist the opportunity to look for and treat the early stages of AMD.
