What does an optometrist check for during an examination?
An eye examination involves the use of several tests, usually performed by an optometrist or ophthalmologist, to assess vision. Comprehensive eyes tests usually involve the following: a thorough case history, an assessment of visual acuity, accommodation (focussing), vergence (eye teaming), stereopsis (depth perception), colour vision, pupil reactions, visual field screening (peripheral vision testing), ocular motility (eye muscle movement and control), eye health assessment (both front and inside your eye).
