1, vision examination
This is the eye examination is one of the most basic examination. It can give the doctor an accurate visual impression of the patient's condition in the first place. All patients with abnormal visual quality should first receive a binocular vision examination. It is also often recommended for patients whose vision is not as closely related to eyelid swelling or dry eyes as it is to vision.
2. Slit Lamp Examination
The slit lamp is a microscope that examines the outer eye, the anterior segment of the eye, and the anterior vitreous. In combination with a number of contact and non-contact optical components, the fundus can be examined. The slit lamp is one of the most commonly used devices by ophthalmologists and is an examination that essentially all ophthalmology patients undergo.
3. Optometry and Lens Trial
The main examination of the refractive state of the eye is currently performed using a computerized optometer. The purpose of optometry is to understand what kind of refractive state the patient is currently in, such as myopia, or hyperopia. A trial lens is not the same as a prescription lens, but a test that gives the patient the best corrected vision based on the results of the optometry. A trial lens provides insight into the patient's best corrected visual acuity and is one of the most important pieces of information a clinician needs to know.
4, intraocular pressure examination
Interocular pressure examination of more ways, there are contact and non-contact points, the current commonly used is the gas non-contact way, both fast and safe, the patient should be made in order to rule out the possibility of high intraocular pressure and glaucoma, in order to early detection and treatment.
5, optical coherence tomography (OCT)
OCT examination is safe, non-radiation non-invasive, is the retina, especially the macula, the optic disk is an important means of detailed examination, is one of the fundus doctor commonly used examination. It is because OCT is non-invasive and safe that it has also become one of the main tests used by many patients with fundus disease to track changes in their condition at follow-up appointments.
6. Fundus photography
While doctors are irreplaceable for patients' fundus exams, fundus photography with advanced fundus cameras is important for disease observation, documentation, and follow-up. Unlike a doctor's subjective description, fundus photography is objective. Many fundus disorders are variable, so it is necessary to receive fundus photography at different times of the disease.
7. Ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM)
It is an ultrasound examination of the anterior segment of the eye, which can be a good way to explore the structure of the anterior segment of the eye of the patient. It is important for glaucoma, congenital anomalies of the anterior segment of the eye, ocular trauma, and preoperative examination of internal eye surgery.
8, eye ultrasound
Ultrasound is usually non-invasive and painless. Ocular ultrasound is important for patients with superficial ocular tissue masses, orbital disease, refractive interstitial disease, and other fundus diseases.
9, visual field examination
Visual field examination requires the cooperation of the patient. It is important for the diagnosis and follow-up of glaucoma. In addition, it is also important in the field of neuro-ophthalmology, special types of visual field abnormalities can indicate the presence of central nervous system disorders.
In addition, the ophthalmologic examination of the cornea *** focus microscopy, anterior segment of the eye OCT, corneal fluorescence staining, corneal topography, ocular CT/MR, ocular protrusion examination and other items, which are also often used in the examination of corneal disease, glaucoma, orbital disease.
Second, how much is an eye examination
1, eye examination is actually a relatively common examination program, eye examination and general physical examination of the concept is similar, his examination of a wide range of categories, and the cost of the examination will be based on the complexity of the examination of the difference between the big difference, if you just carry out a general examination of the fundus, the cost of a few dozens of dollars, if more items are examined, the cost of a few dozens of dollars, the cost of a few dozens of dollars. If there are more items to be examined, the cost can range from several hundred to several thousand dollars.
2, eye examination is actually divided into many types, such as ocular appendages and anterior segment of the eye examination is relatively simple, while the eye is more basic period of the examination is mainly to check the eyelid conjunctiva and lacrimal glands and the specific location of the eyeball whether there will be lesions or foreign objects, this examination is the most basic examination, basically a few dollars or even tens of dollars can be dealt with.
3, however, some people's eye diseases are more complex, or there will be a vision problem, this time to check the lens and check the iris pupil and sclera cornea examination is a must, these examination costs will be relatively higher, about a few hundred dollars or so, but the specific cost of the examination will be due to the different hospital charges and different hospitals and hospitals, there is a big difference, so it is recommended that The local hospital will be better for you to consult on the charges.
Overall, the cost of a routine eye examination is not high, about a few tens of dollars, but if you want to do more tests, you need to do a lens examination and funduscopic examination and pupil examination, the cost is relatively higher, the eye examination from tens of dollars to hundreds of thousands of dollars, the specific cost of the examination should be based on the doctor's prescription of the examination program and hospitals. The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.
