What is an optometrist?
Optometrists are the major providers of primary eyecare in the
United States. Their education includes four years of pre-medical
undergraduate education, earning a Bachelor of Science Degree
and four years of Optometric education, earning a Doctor of
Optometry Degree.

A Doctor of Optometry is a primary healthcare provider who diagnoses, manages and
treats eye conditions and diseases of the human eye and visual system. In accordance
with state law, they prescribe, evaluate, dispense ocular medications, glasses and contact
lenses, providing total eye health and vision care for all ages.

What's involved in an eye exam?
A complete eye exam involves a series of tests designed to evaluate your vision and check
for eye diseases. It doesn't hurt. Your doctor may use odd-looking instruments, aim bright
lights directly at your eyes and request that you look through a seemingly endless array of
lenses. Each test evaluates a different aspect of your vision.
The eye exam usually begins with your doctor asking about your medical history and any
vision problems you might be experiencing. Next, your eye doctor makes a quick check of
your eyes using a light to ensure the exterior parts of your eyes are functioning correctly.
Finally, your doctor measures your visual acuity, assesses your need for glasses and
examines your eyes for signs of disease. Part of the examination, such as taking your
medical history and the initial eye test, may be performed by a technician who assists your
doctor.

eye exam at Family Eyecare of Roswell:

Below are some of the procedures we most commonly employ during a comprehensive
eye exam at Family Eyecare of Roswell:
Visual Acuity: We assess the quality of your vision, visual acuity (VA) at distance and at
near with standardized test charts at standardized testing distances under specified
lighting conditions.
Objective Refraction: Using equipment called Autorefractor we utilize the reflexes from the
back of your eyes to determine if you are Farsighted, Nearsighted or Astigmatic
Subjective Refraction: Using equipment called the Phoroptor the doctor finalizes the
prescription lenses needed to achieve optimal vision for you at distance, near and
intermediate (Which is better one or two)
Keratometry: We use an Auto-Keratometer as part of our standard pre-testing to measure
the curvature of the cornea, the front most part of your eyes. It will assist the doctor in fitting
you with proper contact lenses or LASIK consultation.
Automated Perimetry: We use an FDT peripheral Vision Analyzer by Humphrey
Instruments to evaluate your peripheral vision. The equipment uses a computer program
that flashes small lights as you look at the center of the instrument. You press a button
when you see certain visual stimuli in the periphery. Using your responses to one or more
of these tests, a map is created of the extent and limitations of your peripheral vision. If you
aren't able to see in certain areas, your eye doctor uses the map to help diagnose your eye
condition.
Slit-lamp examination: A slit lamp is a microscope that enlarges and illuminates the front
of your eye with an intense line of light. Your doctor uses this light to examine the cornea,
iris, lens and anterior chamber of your eye. When examining your cornea, your doctor may
use fluorescein (flooh-RES-ene) dye. The orange dye spreads across your eyes to help
your eye doctor detect tiny cuts, scrapes, tears, foreign objects or infections on your cornea.
Your eyes' tears will wash the dye away.
Retinal examination (ophthalmoscopy) A retinal examination — sometimes called
ophthalmoscopy or fundoscopy — examines the back of your eye, including your retina,
optic disk and the underlying layer of blood vessels that nourish the retina (choroid). Many
times before your doctor can see these structures, your pupils must be dilated with special
eyedrops. The eyedrops may sting briefly and might cause a medicinal taste in your mouth
as the medication drains from your tear ducts into your throat.
Pachymetry: This test measures the thickness of your cornea — an important factor in
evaluating your intraocular pressure measurement. After applying numbing eyedrops, we
use an instrument that emits ultrasound waves to measure your corneal thickness.
Pachymetry also helps determine whether you are a good candidate for LASIK
Eye Pressure Testing (Tonometry) :
Methods we may use to test your eyes pressure include:
Nerve Fiber Analysis: (GDX) Glaucoma is a disease of optic nerve responsible for
preventable vision loss in millions of Americans every year. GDX uses a scanning laser to
measure the thickness and health of nerve fiber layers of your eyes’ optic nerves. It
provides the doctor an excellent diagnostic tool for early detection and management of
Glaucoma.
Versions: Eye movement and coordination is evaluated by having you observe an object
moving in the field of vision, usually horizontally, vertically and at various angles. The eyes
are tested individually and when working together.
Cover Test: The eyes are observed for alignment. Alternately, one eye then the other is
covered and uncovered. This tests the resting position of the eyes and their response to
focusing and targeting the observed object. Alignment is usually tested at distance and
near. Mis-alignment may indicate strabismus (cross- or wall-eyed), uncorrected optical
error, or neurological disease.

Eye Pressure Testing (Tonometry) :
Methods we may use to test your eyes pressure include:
- Applanation Tonometry. This test measures the amount of force needed to
temporarily flatten a part of your cornea. Fluorescein, the same orange dye used in
a regular slit-lamp exam, is usually put in your eye to make your cornea easier to
see. You'll also receive eyedrops containing an anesthetic. Using the slit lamp, your
doctor moves the tonometer to touch your cornea. It won't hurt, and the anesthetic
will wear off within two hours.
- Noncontact Tonometry. This method uses a puff of air to test the pressure in your
eye. No instruments will touch your eye, so you won't need an anesthetic. You'll feel
mild pressure on your eye, which can be uncomfortable, but it lasts only seconds.
Nerve Fiber Analysis: (GDX) Glaucoma is a disease of optic nerve responsible for
preventable vision loss in millions of Americans every year. GDX uses a scanning laser to
measure the thickness and health of nerve fiber layers of your eyes’ optic nerves. It

Elevated eye pressure is one of the most significant risk
factors in Glaucoma. Tonometry measures your intraocular
pressure — the pressure inside your eyes. It helps your eye
doctor detect glaucoma, a disease that causes pressure to
build up inside your eyes and can cause blindness.
Glaucoma can be treated if it's caught early.

| When and Why to Have an Eye Examination |
For Preventive, non-symptomatic vision care:
Infants and toddlers: by 6 months of age
Pre-schoolers: at ages 3 and 5 (comprehensive vision exam)
School age to adults: Once every year
For non-routine, symptom-prompted examinations: Emergency
Any sudden onset of blurred vision, double vision, distorted vision, loss of peripheral vision,
increase in number or size of floaters, flashing lights in peripheral vision, increase in light
sensitivity, pain upon movement of the eyes, any discharge or bleeding, halos around
lights, pain upon closure or opening of eyelids,
Non-Emergency but requiring Urgent attention:
Gradual loss of ability to focus on near objects, blurred distance vision after concentrated
near vision activities or the reverse, change in quality of vision with existing eyeglasses or
contact lenses, headaches or eyestrain, especially after near vision tasks, burning , itchy ,
red or watery eyes
How should you prepare for an eye exam?
If you're seeing an eye doctor for the first time expect questions about your eye health,
vision, and general health history. Your answers to these questions help your eye doctor
understand your risk of eye disease and vision problems. Be prepared to give specific
information, including:
If you wear contact lenses, bring them to your appointment. Your eye doctor will want to
make sure your prescription is the best one for you. Also be prepared to remove your
contacts for certain exams. Tests that use orange dye (fluorescein) to temporarily color
your eye may permanently dye your contact lenses. You'll want to take them out before
those types of tests.
