The Eye Examination

AMSgraphics1

Regular visual screening as in all clinical healthcare regimes are fundamental in detecting potential sight-threatening or in some cases life-threatening conditions. For e.g.:

Sight threatening conditions, amongst others, commonly seen are:

a) Glaucoma

b) Cataracts

c) Age-related Macular degeneration

 

Life threatening conditions:

 

The aspect of life threatening conditions identified through an eye examination is an integral part of our duty of care and our case histories have identified conditions, amongst others, such as:

a)  Diabetes

b) Hypertension

c) Vascular complications

d) Pituitary tumours

e) Neurological problems (including multiple-sclerosis)

f) Intra-cranial lesions (benign/malignant melanomas)


We all rely on our eyes and good eyesight in almost every aspect of our daily lives. Access to information through reading or television depends on clear vision, while life itself can depend on the ability to see properly while driving, or just walking in busy streets.


Yet a significant proportion of people don’t have their eyes examined at regular intervals, while many people have never had an eye examination. Why?

Part of the reason is that eyes, don’t normally let you know in an obvious way when something is wrong. Often, because sight deterioration can be very gradual, people genuinely do not notice that they are not seeing as well as they could. Regular examinations are important as the sooner a vision problem is detected, the greater the chance of successful treatment – this is particularly true with young children and the elderly.

You should have an eye examination every year. It may be necessary to have them more frequently, depending on your age and medical history.

The heart of the practice is the consulting rooms incorporating state of the art technology with the latest digital retinal cameras.
