Finding Your Prescription

This comprises 3 parts and is called the refraction. The first, objective refraction, uses a retinoscope that directs light into the eye allowing the practitioner to calculate your prescription. The second, subjective refraction, takes into account your responses. The third is to balance the 2 eyes so that not only can you see as clearly as possible but with great comfort. You may require a second prescription, perhaps for reading, sewing, or for sports.

Glaucoma Screening

Several parts of the eye may alert the practitioner to be suspicious of glaucoma, but the one that most people love is the “puff of air” which measures the internal pressure of the eye. If after a second set of readings the pressure in one or both eyes is higher than normal, you may be referred.
