A standard eye checkup is not just about the refraction test, which a test that requires patient to read letters from big to small and eye care practitioner will improve the vision by giving the prescription lenses accordingly. This is what most people know about. However, a standard eye checkup should include screening test from front surface to back surface of our eyes, eye muscles coordination, eye pressure and so on.

  • Eyelids
  • Conjunctiv
  • Iris
  • Lens
  • Sclera
  • Cornea

TONOMETRY – ICARE® TONOMETER

Our eyes is a bulb-like globe which had its own independent pressure in. You may be heard about Glaucoma, an ocular disease where your intraocular pressure (IOP) is high enough to cause damage on the nerves in the eyes. Glaucoma is currently the second leading cause of blindness globally. This ocular disease can be asymptomatic in early stage until it progresses to damage the nerves lead to narrowing vision and ultimately caused blind.

However, there is nothing to worry about it, as now we can evaluate the pressure in a quick and painless way through the new ICARE® tonometer! What makes it special is ICARE® tonometer requires no anesthetic on patient’s eye! Intraocular pressure evaluation is crucial in early detection of glaucoma.

FUNDUSCOPY – ZEISS HAND-HELD FUNDUSCOPE (VISUSCOUT-100)

Do you ever think where will the light be directed after it enter our eyes? The light is actually refracted and redirected to macula which it located at retina, a layer of photoreceptor cells in the back surface of the eye. This makes us see the beauty in our life. Funduscope is the instrument responsible for vitreo-retinal screening. This portable handheld funduscope can provide a clear image of the health condition of retinal easily without dilating the pupil.

A wide range of risk factors for potential vision loss that involves Vitreous Humour and retinal layer can be diagnosed by Funduscopy. For example if you have diabetes or hypertension, an annual fundus examination is essential for signs of diabetic or hypertensive retinopathy that could lead to a permanent or difficult-to-treat vision loss. Furthermore, age related macular degeneration and papilloedema can be identified by funduscopy.
