Dilation versus Special Testing
An eye exam is helpful not only to check your vision, but also your eye health. We have two options available to you, both of which allow Dr. Simpson to evaluate the health of your retina.
Eyes Of Texas offers state-of-the-art Retinal Imaging equipment to quickly obtain detailed photos of your retinas without any side effects, unlike dilation drops.
Dilation: (included in Routine Vision Exam)
Dilation is INCLUDED IN THE PRICE OF YOUR EXAM, but you will most likely experience a few side effects from these eye drops, the most notable of which are:
- Blurred NEAR vision (DISTANCE vision will remain unaffected)
- Photophobia (light sensitivity)
These symptoms last approximately 4 to 6 hours after the drops are administered.
If, however, you wish to check the health of your eyes without experiencing side effects, you have options!
Special Testing
- Retinal Imaging photos take a digital scan of the retina for general eye health. This is an excellent baseline information or to follow some diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes, glaucoma to name a few.
- OCT is a scan of all layers of the macula (central vision) which gives the sharpest vision. It often picks up macular issues before the patient notices any vision changes.
- Visual Fields measures central and side vision. It is recommended if you have headaches, diabetes, high blood pressure, spots or flashes of light, a high prescription, or a family history of glaucoma.
