Vision
Eye examinations can uncover not only ophthalmic problems, but also point to other systemic conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension and vascular disease.
Autorefractometry
Autorefractometry is an automated examination that measures visual impairment (nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism) by assessing how light is refracted in the eye. It allows a quick and precise assessment of corrective needs, providing a starting point for further diagnosis.
Tonometry
Tonometry is a method of measuring intraocular pressure that is crucial in the diagnosis and monitoring of glaucoma. High pressure inside the eye can lead to damage to the optic nerve and loss of vision, so early detection and treatment are essential.
Fundus of the eye
A fundus examination allows direct visualization of the retina, blood vessels and optic nerve. It is an invaluable tool in diagnosing pathological changes in the eye, including diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, vascular changes and assessing the effects of hypertension.
OCT
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an advanced imaging technique that allows detailed analysis of ophthalmic structures, including the retina and optic nerve. OCT is extremely useful in diagnosing the early stages of macular degeneration, glaucoma and other retinal conditions.
