To maintain eye health, some regular checkups are recommended. However, it should be known that the tests that each person needs depend on factors such as age, medical history and symptoms present. Here are some common routine exams that can be part of your eye health care:
1. Eye exam: This includes an eye test to measure visual acuity and check for any vision problems such as near or distance vision. Using an eye chart and various lenses, the size of the clearly visible letters is estimated.
2. Measuring intraocular pressure: Helps detect or monitor glaucoma (high fluid pressure in the eye), a condition that can cause damage to the optic nerve if not treated properly.
3. Anterior eye examination: The anterior structure of the eye is examined, including the eyelid, cornea, pupil and lens. This examination can detect superficial inflammation, infections or tumors.
4. Posterior eye examination: The posterior structure of the eye is examined, including the retina, optic nerve and blood vessels. This examination can detect diseases such as retinal tears, vitreous degeneration or other retinal diseases.
5. Eye exam after pupil dilation: Eye drops are used to expand the size of the pupil so that the doctor can look deep into the eye and better examine the internal structures such as the retina and optic nerve.
An ophthalmologist should be consulted to determine the optimal timing and sequence of these examinations based on personal health and individual needs.
