OPTOMETRIC REVIEW
- Examination with a biomicroscope to assess your eye health, the condition of the tear film.
- Retinography: Retinography is used to diagnose or monitor certain eye diseases. The main indications for retinography are the diagnosis of certain pathologies that may affect the retina and optic nerve, namely diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, macular degeneration, retinal vascular occlusions, study of the optic nerve or other retinal dystrophies, study of ocular tumors, among others.
- Optometric analysis according to the needs and age of each patient. Visual abilities that may affect visual well-being, such as convergence, divergence, accommodation, stereopsis and color vision are valued.
- Tonometry for monitoring intraocular pressure.
- Corneal topography to detect any changes in the ocular surface.
The WHO recommends having a complete eye check-up before the age of four to detect any pathology and then carrying out annual check-ups to detect visual changes that may affect the child's vision. That is why we support your children in this process.
- Difficulty reading or learning, poor reading comprehension.
- Observation of ocular deviations.
- Constantly rubs his eyes.
- Gets too close during near vision tasks or when watching television.
- Lack of concentration on a prolonged task.
- With specific peripheral defocused lenses developed to decrease the axial growth of the eye.
- With soft or monthly contact lenses for the most active with specific designs to contain the progression of myopia.
- With lenses for myopia control.
- With lenses for irregular astigmatism (Keratoconus) scleral lenses.
Contactology is a specialty of Optometry that aims to adapt the most suitable contact lens based on the results of the optometric examination.
The practice of contactology consists of adapting a contact lens to the ocular surface, making it comfortable and capable of providing adequate optical compensation, for the necessary time, without harming ocular health in the short, medium and long term.
It is the Optometrist's job to determine which lens is appropriate for each patient, based on their conditions, symptoms, signs
ocular and refractive examination results.
Properly designed and fitted, a contact lens compensates for ametropia, corneal irregularities and certain binocular dysfunctions. In addition to the most common contact lenses (softer materials), contactology includes the adaptation of contact lenses for special conditions, such as corneal pathologies, high prescriptions and transplanted corneas. This is the case for semi-rigid, hybrid and scleral lenses.
