Glaucoma

Verified by N49

Regular vision testing and evaluations ensure that you always have the clearest vision possible. Our Brooklyn optometrist provides regular vision acuity test as part of a comprehensive eye exam. Shlimov will measure how each eye is seeing by using a wall eye chart and a reading eye chart. The results of these tests are portrayed as a fraction, with 20/20 being the standard for normal distance and reading vision. Depending on the results of your vision test, Shlimov may prescribe corrective glasses, contacts, or eye exercises. In addition to vision testing, an eye exam in our Brooklyn office includes testing eye functionality. Our optometrist performs several tests to evaluate depth perception, color vision, eye muscle capabilities, peripheral vision, and responsiveness to light. Several other simple tests are completed to determine whether the eyes are focusing, moving, and working together properly. The test results enable Shlimov to diagnose any underlying conditions that may be impairing the eyes ability to focus or work together. As part of a comprehensive eye exam, our Brooklyn optometrist examines the overall health of the eye through a visual examination and tonometry. Shlimov evaluates eye health by visually inspecting the eye and eyelids using magnification and a bright light. To examine the internal structures of the eye, we may dilate the pupils. Increased eye pressure may be an indicator of glaucoma, so we utilize tonometry to measure eye pressure.
