A comprehensive eye examination is a detailed evaluation of your vision and overall eye health performed by an ophthalmologist or optometrist. Unlike a basic vision screening, it involves a series of tests to check for refractive errors, assess the health of the cornea, retina, and optic nerve, and detect early signs of eye diseases such as glaucoma, cataract, and diabetic retinopathy. The examination may include visual acuity testing, refraction, slit-lamp examination, tonometry (eye pressure check), and dilated fundus examination. Regular comprehensive eye exams are important for all age groups to maintain good vision, detect problems early, and prevent irreversible vision loss.
