Eye Exam
At Chagrin Valley Optometrists, we take pride in providing the highest quality eye care to the residents of Chagrin Falls, Ohio, and the surrounding Chagrin Valley area. Our comprehensive eye exams in Chagrin Falls, Ohio play a crucial role in identifying potential eye problems early, ensuring your eyes stay in great shape. You might think that 20/20 vision means perfect eye health, but that’s not always the case. Many eye conditions and diseases don’t show obvious symptoms at first. Regular eye exams help us catch issues like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy early, preventing serious vision loss.
Eye exams also reveal signs of systemic health issues such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. We can detect and correct vision problems even if you have 20/20 vision, ensuring you always see your best.
What to expect during your eye exam
We start by discussing your medical history, any vision problems you’re experiencing, and your overall health. This conversation helps us understand potential risks or underlying conditions that may affect your eyes. We will then measure how well you see at various distances with a visual acuity test. You’ll read from an eye chart to determine if you need glasses or contact lenses. We then refine your eyeglass prescription using our advanced digital phoropter (or digital refraction system), which ensures precise measurements and a comfortable experience as we determine your exact prescription.
We also check the muscles that control your eye movement, ensuring they function properly. This helps identify issues like binocular vision problems. To examine your side or peripheral vision, we use the innovative VR Heru headset. This cutting-edge tool provides a more immersive and interactive experience while checking for signs of vision loss that could indicate glaucoma or other conditions.
Specialized testing and advanced imaging techniques
To get a detailed look at the back of your eye, we may use digital retinal imaging. This state-of-the-art technology provides high-resolution images of your retina, helping us spot issues like diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration early on when treatment is most effective. Additionally, we may use optical coherence tomography (OCT) to capture detailed cross-sectional images of your retina. This non-invasive technology allows us to see the layers of your retina, helping us diagnose and monitor conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy.
