The doctors at Europtics perform a number of tests on the internal and external parts of your eyes to examine the retinas, optic nerves, muscles, cornea, blood vessels, pupils, lenses, irises, conjunctivas, eyelids and eyelashes. The doctor will also look at your eye muscles, checking their ability to rotate and coordinate properly. The doctor will then move to the refractive tests where she will determine your ability to see clearly, focus your eyes and will determine whether you need glasses. At the end of the exam, the doctor will make a final diagnosis, determine the treatment plan and go over it all with you. Call any Europtics location today to schedule your next eye exam.
