Eye Examination for All
My Vision Eye Care provides comprehensive eye examinations for patients with cataract and general eye diseases, for all ages. Following the recommendations of the American Academy of Ophthalmology, we screen with the aim of confirming the absence of any vision-threatening eye condition — so that if an early disease is detected, specialised, comprehensive management can begin right away.
A comprehensive eye examination is the foundation of good eye care. It does more than update your spectacle number — it establishes a baseline for your eye health and looks for silent, sight-threatening conditions long before you would notice them yourself.
Our screening is designed around the recommendations of the American Academy of Ophthalmology. If everything is healthy, you leave with peace of mind and a clear follow-up schedule. If something is detected early, you gain the single biggest advantage in eye care: time to treat it well.
Eye Examination for All — your questions answered
Is it really necessary to undergo an eye examination?
Yes. It is very important, because it is done by an eye doctor (surgeon, ophthalmologist) to establish a baseline of your eye health. It serves as a reminder — especially for adults — to maintain their eye health as they age.
What is the eye examination process like?
- First, a vision test measures the sight of each eye independently.
- Then the outer segment of the eye is evaluated at high magnification on a slit-lamp device.
- Eye drops are used to dilate the pupil, enabling examination of internal structures such as the retina, macula and nerve.
- You may wait 30 minutes to an hour for the pupil to dilate adequately.
- The dilation effect can last a few hours, during which it is normal to see hazily when driving or reading.
Do I need an eye examination?
Yes — an examination is essential:
- For individuals of any age with symptoms of an eye problem.
- For those with a family history of eye disease, diabetes or high blood pressure.
- For adults aged 40 or older, even with no signs or risk factors for eye disease.
How does an eye examination help?
- It can detect early eye disease you may be unaware of, e.g. glaucoma or retinal pathology.
- It can uncover systemic disease such as hypertension and diabetes.
- Disease detected early is amenable to treatment and prevention of blindness.
- Based on the initial screening, you will be advised the right intervals for follow-up exams.
- With appropriate treatment, avoidable causes of blindness such as glaucoma, cataract and diabetic retinopathy often have a favourable outcome.
