Comprehensive Eye Exam
šļø Comprehensive Eye Exam vs. Eye Test ā Whatās the Difference?
Many people assume that an eye test is all they need to check their vision. But here’s the truth:
š A simple eye test only measures changes in your visionālike if you need glasses or a prescription update.
š§ A comprehensive eye exam, on the other hand, looks much deeper. It evaluates the overall health of your eyes and can detect early signs of serious eye diseasesābefore symptoms even appear.
š©ŗ Why Choose a Comprehensive Eye Exam?
At Boda Family Eyecare, we use advanced technologyāincluding OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography)āto perform detailed assessments of your eye health.
Hereās what we check:
š Optic Nerve Health (e.g., Glaucoma Detection)
Your optic nerve sends visual information from your eyes to your brain.
Glaucoma is a common disease that causes gradual, irreversible damage to the optic nerveāoften without early warning signs.
ā We use tests like visual field testing and OCT scans to detect glaucoma early and help slow further vision loss.
šļø Retina and Macula Examination
Your retina converts light into signals your brain understandsāmaking it essential for clear vision.
We screen for conditions such as:
- Age-related macular degeneration
- Diabetic or hypertension-related retinal damage
- Retinal detachment
- Genetic diseases like retinitis pigmentosa
- Medication-induced toxicity
- Retinal choroidal lesions
Protect Your Vision Before Itās Too Late
Early detection can save your sight. Whether you’re noticing changes or just due for a check-up, a comprehensive eye exam is the best way to stay ahead of serious conditions. Schedule your comprehensive eye exam today.
