| COMPREHENSIVE EYE EXAMINATION | VISUAL EFFICIENCY EXAMINATION |
|
A comprehensive eye exam consists of case history, systemic blood pressure screening, color vision, depth perception, neurological problems, binocular vision or teaming of the eyes, refractive errors (nearsighted, farsighted, astigmatism), external and internal eye health, cataract, and glaucoma screening. |
When indicated, a visual efficiency examination will be given to rule out visual efficiency dysfunction that may cause or contribute to learning difficulties or near point tasks avoidance behavior. Tests include eye muscle balance at far and near distances, smooth tracking, tracking eye movement in reading, near point focusing and fusion skills, flexibility of focusing system, refractive error before and after dilation. In cases of reading problems, a Visagraph II analysis of reading eye movements is completed. The Visagraph is an infrared eye monitor and computer designed to identify visual dysfunctions affecting reading and to investigate the maturity of a person's reading strategy. |
|
When indicated, a perceptual skill assessment is given to evaluate the fundamental perceptual processing skills important for early learning stages of reading, writing, and arithmetic. Tests of vision perception, perceptual speed, spatial concepts, reversal confusion for numbers, letters and words, visual-motor integration, sentence copying skills, fine-motor coordination, auditory perception, short term memory and sequencing, dyslexia determination, attention deficit, and computerized Visagraph analysis of reading eye movements are included in the perceptual skill assessment. |
This specialty service includes an examination, diagnosis, and consultation of patients of all ages regarding strabismus (an eye turn), amblyopia (a lazy eye), nystagmus (jiggling eyes), or other major ocular motor anomaly. Some cases require vision therapy and/or eye surgery to improve or correct the condition. |
| INFANT & CHILD EYE EXAMINATIONS | |
|
We design, administer, and monitor training programs for visual efficiency and perceptual skills dysfunction and therapy programs for amblyopia, nystagmus, and some types of strabismus. |
These examinations are given to rule out early developmental vision problems such as amblyopia, strabismus, extreme farsightedness, nearsightedness or astigmatism in one or both eyes. These conditions tend in run in families and need to be identified as early as possible. A dilated health exam is routinely included to check for disease inside the eye. |
| COMPUTER VISION ASSESSMENT | |
|
Vision problems related to computer use can occur because of visual and eye coordination deficiencies, health factors, and improperly designed work-stations. In addition to a thorough eye exam, the Prio Testing Unit, a new technology, is used to simulate the computer screen and the patients visual responses are checked. A history form is sent to the patient prior to the exam to check for ergonomic factors that can cause problems. Many patients with problems appreciate using specially designed computer spectacles or need a short course of vision therapy (done at their computer station) to achieve visual comfort and efficiency. |
