Inspection process
Case history
In order to determine what is best for the patients, thorough understanding of their ocular condition is required. This is archived through detailed inquiries into their family history of ocular pathology, medication, general health and visual habits.
Vision and refractive status
The visual acuity (sight clarity) and refractive error (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism or presbyopia) are tested with the retinoscope, ophthalmic lenses and internationally recognized visual acuity charts.
Papillary reaction test
The reaction of pupil to light and visual stimulus is tested and observed by optometrists. Related neural or visual problems are analyzed.
Binocular Vision
Assessment of binocular vision functions (co-ordination of the two eyes) would identify any strabismus (squint) and other extra-ocular muscles problems. Identifying the natures of the strabismus is crucial for effective management.
Color Vision Screening
Ishihara color vision tests are used to identify congenital color vision deficiency.
Intra-ocular Pressure
Measurement of the intra-ocular pressure as preliminary glaucoma assessment.
Ocular Health
Compreshensive ocular health assessment on cornea, crystalline lens, retina, macula etc. would be carried out by the use of a series of professional ophthalmic equipment.
Fundus Photography
With the use of high technology fundus camera, the retinal images (including optic nerve, macula, retinal nerve fibers and blood vessels) can be used for diagnostic purposes and for monitoring of pathological changes. For diabetes patients, the progress of diabetic retinopathy can be monitored.
Diagnosis and Recommendation
Our optometrists will review and analyze the patients’ ocular condition based on the examination results. Appropriate management and recommendation will be discussed with the patients for their best interests.

* Notice
There may be a need of the use of pupil dilation eye drop. After applying the eye drop, you may experience blurry vision (especially at near) and become more sensitive to light. It may last for 4-6 hours so you are suggested to bring along your sunglasses or umbrella to reduce the discomfort.
During pupil dilation, avoid operating machines or vechicles.
