Prioritise Your Vision at Bracken Gardens Optometrists
Prioritise your vision at Bracken Gardens Optometrists with our thorough eye examinations. These assessments play a pivotal role in the early detection of eye conditions and vision changes, offering valuable insights into your overall health and potential underlying issues.
Ideal Time for a Comprehensive Eye Examination
Our eye specialist recommends scheduling a complete eye examination annually or biennially. If you're over 60, have chronic conditions like diabetes, or have a family history of vision loss, yearly visits are strongly advised.
Comprehensive Eye Examination Process
Your examination will be personalised based on your health history and needs. It commences with a detailed discussion about your medical and family backgrounds. Our certified optometrist will inquire about any symptoms you may have experienced, such as changes in vision or headaches.
The test typically incorporates the following assessments:
- Visual Clarity Tests: Assessing each eye's performance individually using various lenses and alphabetic charts.
- Prescription Evaluation: Evaluating the need for corrective aids like eyeglasses or contacts and determining the most suitable lens prescription for optimal vision.
- Retina Check-up: Also known as ophthalmoscopy, this allows the optometrist to examine the back of your eye. Eye drops are administered to dilate your pupils for a detailed assessment of your retina, optic disk, and retinal blood vessels.
- Pressure Screening for Glaucoma: Measuring the pressure inside your eyes to assess the risk of glaucoma. Early detection is crucial to prevent vision loss.
Our compassionate optometrists will explain any prescribed treatments or necessary referrals after your test. For a seamless experience, bring your current eyewear and note any symptoms you've observed in the weeks leading up to your appointment.
