A comprehensive eye exam includes tests and procedures to assess your vision and eye health. During an examination, optometrists conduct and assess: • Vision assessments/refraction: Optometrists determine the clarity or blur that patients have and use tailored techniques to find a prescription for the patients best possible vision. • Binocular vision: Optometrists determine the patient’s ability to properly focus and coordinate the eyes, and assess depth perception. • Eye disease: Optometrists diagnose and treat some eye diseases with pharmaceutical agents. They also identify systemic diseases with ocular manifestations such as diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid conditions, cancer, and HIV. • Pre/post-op care: Optometrists provide both pre-operative and post-operative care for cataract surgery, refractive surgery (LASIK), and retinal surgery.
