COMPREHENSIVE EYE EXAM
A comprehensive medical eye exam consists of various tests performed to evaluate your eyes’ health. Our Doctor will not only determine your prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses, however, he or she will also examine your eyes for common eye diseases, evaluate your eye alignment to be sure they are working together.
CONTACT LENS
FITTING
When you come to visit our doctor for a contact lens fitting, he's checking your eyes to decide what strength you need, and what type you need. There are various types of contacts, some for sensitive eyes, some for astigmatism, and even some for those who need bifocals.
Glaucoma
exam
Glaucoma tests are a group of tests that help diagnose glaucoma, a disease of the eye that can cause vision loss and blindness. ... The extra fluid causes an increase in eye pressure. Increased eye pressure can damage the optic nerve. The optic nerve carries information from the eye to the brain.
DRY EYES
treatment
The Schirmer's test is primarily used to diagnose dry eye syndrome. This is a condition that occurs when the tear glands are unable to produce enough tears to keep the eyes moist. As a result, the eyes can't get rid of dust and other irritants. This causes stinging, burning, and redness in the eye.
CATARAct
TESTING
Most cataracts can be diagnosed with an eye exam. At Jamaica optical our eye doctor will test your vision and examine your eyes with a slit lamp microscope to look for problems with the lens and other parts of the eye. The pupils are dilated to better examine the back of the eye, where the retina and optic nerve lie.

aDULT EYE EXAMS
The eyes are the window to the body. Therefore, the eyes are the window to systemic diseases. Many body’s illnesses, eye, and visual disorders are silent or have no obvious symptoms; for that reason, many individuals are often unaware that body and eye problems exist. The eyes can reflect illnesses that begin in another organ of the body. Being able to recognize ocular findings of common systemic conditions can lead to rapid diagnosis and treatment for patients who otherwise may be unaware of potentially life-threatening medical problems.
Routine Vision Exam / Eye Exam
for Glasses
Our Doctor’s will determine your prescription by performing a refraction.
REFRACTION
A refraction is the test that is performed to determine your eyeglass prescription. Along with your refraction, Our Doctor will screen your eyes and make sure there are no medical issues arising, and that your eyes are generally healthy.
REVIEW
Routine eye exams begin with a review of your medical and visual history, so we can understand the risk factors that may contribute to changes in your vision. Certain systemic diseases and medications to treat them have the potential to impact your vision. This is critical information we should gather before your routine eye exam.
YOUR NEEDS
We also try to identify what your visual needs are by understanding the nature of your work and office environment. Once all that information is collected, Our Doctor’s can proceed with your routine eye exam.
