Eye Exam, Lakeport, CA
At Konocti View Optometry, our comprehensive eye exams in Lakeport, California are about so much more than just checking your vision. They are a crucial part of maintaining good overall eye health and catching potential issues early on before they become serious problems. Even if you think your vision is fine, you should still have a comprehensive eye exam on a regular basis. Many eye diseases have no symptoms in the early stages, and they may go unnoticed and continue to worsen over time. When you visit us for an eye exam in Lakeport, our eye doctor will carefully examine your eyes and look for telltale signs of eye diseases and other systemic issues that may be impacting your eyes.
What to expect during your eye exam
Our eye doctor uses a wide range of tests and procedures to evaluate your vision and overall eye health. These tests ensure that your prescription is up to date and your eyes are not showing any signs of eye disease. Here are some tests that we typically perform during your eye exam:
Refraction (glasses prescription)
Our eye doctor will check your refractive error to determine if you need corrective lenses or an updated prescription. This part of the exam helps us ensure that you are seeing clearly and comfortably. We use advanced technologies such as an autorefractor to quickly and accurately determine your exact prescription.
Neurolens testing
Neurolens testing helps us assess how your eyes work together and can detect any eye misalignment issues that may be causing headaches, eye strain, or neck and shoulder pain. If necessary, we may prescribe Neurolens to help relieve these symptoms.
Optomap screening photo
The Optomap screening photo provides a detailed image of the back of your eye, allowing us to detect any signs of retinal issues or other conditions that may go unnoticed without this advanced technology.
Peripheral vision screening
Checking your peripheral vision is crucial for detecting conditions such as glaucoma that affect side vision. Our eye doctor uses visual field testing to measure how much you can see out of the corner of your eyes and to check for blind spots.
Binocular vision screening
Binocular vision screening assesses how well your eyes work together as a team. This is important for tasks such as reading and driving, as poor binocular vision can lead to eye strain and discomfort.
Dilated ocular health exam
By dilating your pupils, our optometrist can get a better view of the inside of your eyes to check for signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, and other health issues.
Eye pressure testing
Elevated intraocular pressure can be a sign of glaucoma, a serious eye disease that can lead to blindness if left untreated. Regularly monitoring your eye pressure during a comprehensive eye exam is crucial for early detection and management.
Optical coherence tomography
Our optometrist may also use optical coherence tomography (OCT) to take highly detailed images of the back of your eyes, which can reveal early signs of diseases years before symptoms appear.
