  • Visual Field Testing - Evaluating peripheral vision to detect conditions like glaucoma or retinal diseases.
  • Ophthalmoscopy - Using an ophthalmoscope to examine the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels in the eye.
  • Tonometry - Measuring intraocular pressure to screen for glaucoma.
  • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) - A non-invasive imaging test that provides cross-sectional images of the retina to assess conditions like macular degeneration.

  • Prescription of Eyeglasses or Contact Lenses - Determining the appropriate corrective lenses for refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.

    • PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) - Another laser procedure for correcting vision, suitable for patients with thinner corneas.
    • YAG Laser Capsulotomy - A laser procedure to treat cloudy vision after cataract surgery by clearing the capsule around the IOL.
  • Glaucoma Surgery - Procedures such as trabeculectomy or tube shunt surgery to reduce intraocular pressure.
