WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR DIGITAL EYE EXAM AT EYES OF CHICO

 

MEDICAL HISTORY
  • Our Tele-Optometry eye exam begins with you electronically completing a questionnaire to capture your medical history and establish your Electronic Medical Record (EMR).
VISUAL PRE-TESTING
  • An on-site optical assistant uses an autorefractor and autokeratometer to provide an objective baseline reading of  your prescription. If you already wear glasses, the prescription on your current pair is read using an auto-lensometer.
VISUAL ACUITY TESTING
Using state-of-the-art, digital phoropters, a refraction and clinical vision analysis is performed on the patient in the optical store in real-time via HD video conferencing by a remote doctor or technician. Scientific algorithms are used to guide the process to arrive at the best prescription that optimizes the patient’s comfort and vision.
EYE HEALTH EXAM: 
The on-site optical technician then performs a series of tests to evaluate the patient’s eye health, including tests for glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and cataracts. The comprehensive eye exam includes the following tests/assessments:
  • Ocular Alignment and Motility
  • Pupil Function
  • Color Vision
  • Anterior Segment of the Eye; using Digital Slit Lamp images & videos
  • Non-Contact Tonometry to test eye pressure
  • Visual Field Testing to measure peripheral vision
  • Fundus Photography to analyze the retina and optic nerve
LIVE CLINICAL REVIEW BY A LICENSED OPTOMETRIST
All the data and images from the patient’s medical history and eye exam are securely transferred to a remote licensed optometrist.  The doctor carefully reviews the patient’s eye health with them in real-time via HD video conferencing and finalizes their prescription.
