Vision screenings using adequate testing equipment ?

Vision is the ability to perceive and interpret the surrounding world through the eyes. It is a complex process involving the eyes, optic nerves, and the brain. Regular vision screening is crucial for maintaining eye health and detecting potential issues early on. Screening methods include visual acuity tests, which measure the sharpness of vision, and eye examinations that evaluate eye alignment, eye movements, and overall eye health.

Other screening tools may involve assessing color vision, depth perception, and peripheral vision. These screenings help identify refractive errors, such as nearsightedness or farsightedness, as well as more serious conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, or macular degeneration, facilitating timely intervention and appropriate vision correction measures.

Visual acuity test A visual acuity test uses an eye chart to measure how well you can read a series of letters. Your eyes are tested one at a time, while the other eye is covered. Using a chart or a viewing device with progressively smaller letters.

Slit-lamp examination. A slit lamp allows your eye doctor to see the structures at the front of your eye under magnification. The microscope is called a slit lamp because it uses an intense line of light, a slit, to illuminate your cornea, iris, lens, and the space between your iris and cornea.

Retinal exam. To prepare for a retinal exam, your eye doctor puts drops in your eyes to open your pupils wide (dilate). This makes it easier to examine the back of your eyes (retina). Using a slit lamp or a special device called an ophthalmoscope, your eye doctor can examine your lens for signs of a cataract.

Applanation tonometry. This test measures fluid pressure in your eye. There are multiple different devices available to do this.
