Eye Exam and Consultation
During an eye exam, Dr. Tart will ask you questions about any symptoms or issues you are experiencing, medications you are currently taking, blurry vision, your work environment, and your overall health. Family history and previous eye or vision conditions will also be discussed during this part of the examination.
Vision Testing
Regular vision testing and evaluations ensure that you always have the clearest vision possible. Our services provide regular visual acuity tests as part of a comprehensive eye exam. The results of these tests are portrayed as a fraction, with 20/20 being the standard for normal distance and reading vision. Depending on the results of your vision test, Dr. Tart may prescribe corrective glasses, contacts, or eye exercises.
Eye Function Testing
In addition to visual testing, an eye exam includes testing eye functionality. Several tests are performed to evaluate depth perception, colored vision, eye muscular capabilities, peripheral vision, and responsiveness to light. Several other simple tests are completed to determine whether the eyes are focusing, moving, and working together properly. The test results enable Dr. Tart to diagnose any underlying conditions that may be impairing the eyes ability to focus or work together.
Eye Health
As part of a comprehensive eye exam, the overall health of the eye is also examined through a visual examination and tonometry. Dr. Tart evaluates eye health by visually inspecting the eye and eyelids using magnification and a bright light. To examine the internal structures of the eye, we may dilate the pupils. Increased eye pressure may be an indicator of glaucoma, so we utilize tonometry to measure eye pressure. After completing these short tests, Dr. Tart reviews the results and discusses any necessary treatment options with you. Contact us at (910) 803-0555 today to schedule a comprehensive eye exam.
