(Next To SAAN) 4 @ coos The Canadian Association of Optometrists (CAO) defines an optometrist as “an independent. primary health care provider who specializes in the examination, diagnosis, treatment, management and prevention of disease and disorders of the visual system, the eye and associated structures as well as the diagnosis of ocular manifestations of systemic conditions” As primary eye care providers, an optometrist’s main responsibilities: ® The examination of the human eye by any method (other than surgery), to diagnose, treat, and/or refer for treatment any-abnormal condition of the eye; in cooperation with physicians and other health professionals. * The employment of instruments, procedures or agents to measure, examine or diagnose visual defects or abnormal conditions of the eye. * The prescribing, fitting and application of glasses, contact lenses or other devices to correct, relieve or treat the eye. © * The prescription, supervision and management of therapy for the improvement/monitoring of visual health. oe © The referral of patients to other health practitioners as required. What is an EYE EXAMINATION Your optometrist will use a number of techniques to assess any potential vi- sion or eye health. problems, and will keep a file of that info. to keep track of changes in your eye health or vision. Regular visits to your optometrist are recommended. Take a proactive approach to your eye health! Steps that vou can expéct in a typical optometric examination: | - © Case history - you will be asked about your general health, medications you may be taking, working environment, hobbies, etc. You will also be asked to describe any vision problems.you may have been experiencing. ® External eye examination - Your optometrist will examine the external area around the eye to ensure that there are no abnormalities. ® Internal eye examination - Using the slit lamp microscope and an oph- thalmoscope, your optometrist will check your eyes for indications of - abnormalities, from front to back. Some problems detected during an internal eye examination may indicate possible disease, such as diabe- tes or hypertension. If your optometrist sees any of these warning signs, ‘ou willbe referred to a physician for further examination: © ® Tonometry - Tonometry measures the fluid pressure in the eye and isan © important test in detecting glaucoma. wh as © Vision tests - A number of tests are used to assess your vision: “"-" *- ~ 0 Refinoscopy - The optometrist can determine the strength of your eyes us- ing various Enses and the retinoscope. This is done without feedback from the patient and is therefore an invaluable instrument for assessing the vision ; problems of children and others who may not be able fo read an eye chart. \ o Visual acuity tests - Using the familiar wall chart and a hand-held charts, your optometrist will assess your abil to see small detail clearly at both near and far distances. You may sit benind a phoropter, an instrument con- taining a combination of lenses. Lens choices are systematically changed until clear focus is obtained. —_ ~ Eye Movement - Using a number of different tests, the optometrist will evaluate how well your eyes align or coordinate when working together and individually. o Peripheral Vision - he optometrist may evaluate how well you see targets which are not directly in front of you. Other tests may be undertaken to evaluate your ability to change focus, see colour correctly, or perceive depth correctly. The items above are typi- cal to a routine eye examination.
