Comprehensive examinations generally last 30 minutes and include the following examination components:
Patient History:
Dr. Hale will spend a few minutes getting to know not only your visual needs and complaints but also learning about you personally.
Visual Acuities:
A measurement of your current level of vision with your correction or without correction.
Eye Alignment Testing
This includes testing how well the eyes are aligned and teaming together when looking at the distance and looking at a near object.
Pupillary and Eye Muscle Testing:
These are representative of neurological tests that when abnormal can be used to diagnose more complicated problems.
Refraction and Retinoscopy:
These are two different ways to measure a patient's prescription. One includes patient involvement and one does not. Retinoscopy is the measurement of choice when working with children or complicated prescriptions.
Ocular Health Examination
Here Dr. Hale will assess the health of each eye from the front surface to the back surface including the retina. This can be done with and without a dilated pupil and more information about routine dilation will be provided by Dr. Hale
Discussion
Often the most important part of the examination in which Dr. Hale will take time to explain the findings of the examination and what they mean to you, the patient.
Please feel free to ask questions at any time during the examination!
