• The human eye is a complex integration of various
  veins and other parts. With the help of each
  part, we are able to see things around us, but
  even a tiny fault in the eye can lead to some
  serious issues. Before you go out for a checkup
  in Ottawa, its vital to know about every aspect
  related to the eye exam. So what are these? Lets
  discuss everything these things now.

What Exactly is an Eye Exam?

• The eye examination includes a proper checkup of
  the eye. It may take a longer time as multiple
  tests are included in the whole procedure. The
  test may range from simplest to the most complex
  depending on the visual capacity of the eye.

Physical Examination

• This examination includes an entire health check
  of the eye from the outside to the inside. The
  doctor may use the tools like light or a lens to
  check the internal portion of the eye including
  the health of the retina, optic nerve, and lens.
  For external testing, cornea, iris, eyelids, and
  conjunctiva are tested. A slit lamp is the most
  common tool used for the testing. It comes with a
  chin rest so that the doctor can look at the eye
  lens while the patient is relaxing.

Color Blindness Test

• According to some survey, sixty out of a hundred
  people are colorblind. Its nothing but the
  difficulty between recognizing a few shades such
  as red, and green colors. Its commonly found in
  males. Every child is checked for colorblindness
  as it is included in a regular eye exam in
  Ottawa. In case, the doctor doesnt opt for the
  test, you can ask for it.

Refraction Test

• The doctor prefers this test when you are
  suspected of needing glasses. In simple words,
  poor vision leads to the refraction test. From
  using the Snellen chart to using a light beam,
  every possible procedure is used to find the
  exact number. You just have to read the words
  (from bigger to smaller) listed on the chart. The
  doctor may opt for the eye drops to relax the
  focus of the eyes. It gives the exact measure of
  the eyesight. This way you get the right
  glasses.
