We know it is important to be thorough. That's why we offer a comprehensive eye examination that will uncover hidden, symptom-less, potentially sight-threatening eye disorders and diseases that are not found by a simple vision screening.





Medical History

The eyes are a part of the body, and can be affected by seemingly unrelated health conditions. Therefore, at Eyecare of CNY, we must know about your general health and your medications including non-prescription medication. This will help your eye doctor  to treat you better.

Neurological Screenings

Evaluating the way your eyes and pupils work together and individually can tell us if the nerves and muscles controlling your eyes are working properly or require more investigation.

The Refraction

Your eye doctor at Eyecare of CNY will use both automated and doctor-controlled instruments, plus the patient-directed methods, to obtain the best prescription glasses for you.

Binocular Assessment

Many perceptual and reading dysfunctions are secondary to poor binocularity. Your eye doctor at Eyecare of CNY will evaluate the way the eyes team together.

Visual Fields

Your ability to see to the side and above and below will be tested with computers, if and when necessary.

Eye Health Testing

Your eye doctor at Eyecare of CNY will test your eye health. This is the most vital part of proper eye care and takes up most of the examination time. Your eye doctor will use the microscope, dilate the pupils and view the inside of the eye using proper instruments.

The optometrist can then detect early signs of glaucoma, cataracts, hypertension, and even diabetes.

Photography

Photographs of the front and/or the inside of the eyes are taken if there are findings that need to be reviewed and compared at a later date.

Consultation

At Eyecare of CNY, the eye doctor will provide with an explanation of the findings, their significance, the treatment plan and other options to all patients, parents or guardians. Your eye doctor will answer all your questions and the solutions to any difficulties will be reviewed.
