Advanced Examinations
We may have to carry out extra tests, on top of our standard eye examination, to thoroughly check the health of your eyes and how well you can see. These tests help us accurately diagnose or rule out certain conditions so that we can suggest the best possible management plan for you.
Visual fields examination
This tests your peripheral vision. There are a few conditions that can cause loss of peripheral vision, for example glaucoma, retinitis pigmentosa or tumour.
Goldmann applanation
His test is the gold standard for measuring eye pressures. It’s an alternative to the puffer test that many people find uncomfortable. We use Goldmann applanation to test for and monitor ocular hypertension and glaucoma.
Volk examination
We use Volk lenses to view your retina. They are the highest quality lenses available and give us the best quality image of your eye. This means we can more easily see if you have any breaks, tears or retinal detachment.
