Service Detail

Eye Examination

A thorough examination of your vision and eye health.

Service Overview

What this service covers

Our comprehensive eye examinations go well beyond prescription testing, covering the full health of your eyes from front to back. Using both objective and subjective methods, we determine your exact prescription while also examining the anterior eye structures — including the cornea, eyelids, and conjunctiva — for early signs of infection, allergy, or dry eye. Intraocular pressure is measured as part of routine glaucoma risk monitoring, while a thorough posterior examination assesses the retina, optic nerve, and macular health, which can also reveal early signs of systemic conditions like diabetes and hypertension. Colour vision and binocular function tests complete the examination, ensuring your eyes are working together accurately and meeting any occupational visual requirements.

Service Details

Detailed service breakdown

Detail 01

Refraction & Prescription Testing

Determining your exact corrective prescription for spectacles or contact lenses using both objective and subjective methods.

Includes

  • Autorefraction (objective measurement)
  • Subjective refraction (lens trial)
  • Retinoscopy
  • Near vision / reading assessment
  • Binocular balance testing

Clinical Note

Prescriptions can change gradually — annual reviews help keep your vision sharp and your lenses accurate.

Detail 02

Anterior Eye Assessment

Examination of the front structures of the eye using a slit lamp biomicroscope.

Includes

  • Corneal clarity and health
  • Eyelid and lash assessment
  • Conjunctival condition
  • Dry eye evaluation
  • Anterior chamber inspection

Clinical Note

Early signs of corneal conditions, allergies, and infections are identified here.

Detail 03

Intraocular Pressure (IOP) Check

Measurement of the fluid pressure inside the eye — a key indicator for glaucoma risk.

Includes

  • Non-contact tonometry (air puff)
  • Goldmann applanation tonometry
  • iCare rebound tonometry
  • Diurnal variation monitoring

Clinical Note

Elevated IOP alone does not confirm glaucoma, but it is a critical risk factor that must be tracked.

Detail 04

Posterior Eye Examination

Assessment of the back of the eye — the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels — for health and disease.

Includes

  • Direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy
  • Retinal evaluation
  • Optic disc assessment
  • Macular health check
  • Diabetic and hypertensive changes

Clinical Note

The retina can reveal signs of systemic diseases like diabetes and hypertension before symptoms appear.

Detail 05

Colour Vision & Binocular Function

Tests assessing how the eyes work together and how accurately colour is perceived.

Includes

  • Ishihara colour vision plates
  • Cover test (eye alignment)
  • Stereopsis / 3D vision
  • Convergence and accommodation testing
  • Ocular motility assessment

Clinical Note

Colour deficiency assessments are important for occupational requirements (pilots, electricians, etc.).
