Comprehensive Eye Exams in Orland Park, IL
At Vision Source – Orland Park, our comprehensive eye exams evaluate more than how clearly you see. We carefully check your vision, prescription needs, eye focusing, eye coordination, and the overall health of your eyes.
A complete eye exam can help detect signs of glaucoma, cataracts, diabetic eye disease, macular degeneration, retinal problems, high blood pressure, and other health-related eye conditions. Our goal is to provide accurate prescriptions while also protecting your long-term eye health.
What We Evaluate During Your Eye Exam
Your comprehensive eye exam may include:
- Vision clarity and visual acuity
- Refraction to determine your eyeglass prescription
- Eye focusing and eye teaming ability
- Eye pressure and glaucoma risk assessment
- External eye health evaluation
- Internal eye health evaluation, including the retina, macula, and optic nerve
- Screening for cataracts, retinal disease, diabetic eye disease, and other medical eye conditions
Dilation and Retinal Health
A dilated eye exam may be recommended to give the doctor a better view of the internal structures of your eyes, including the retina, macula, and optic nerve. Dilation can be especially important when evaluating retinal disease, diabetes-related eye changes, glaucoma risk, flashes, floaters, or other medical concerns.
The effects of dilating drops usually begin to subside after a few hours. Because your eyes may be more sensitive to light afterward, it is helpful to bring sunglasses to your appointment.
Advanced Diagnostic Technology
When medically appropriate, we may use advanced diagnostic technology to evaluate and monitor the health of your eyes.
OCT Retina & Optic Nerve Imaging
Detailed scans of the retina, macula, optic nerve, and nerve fiber layer help us evaluate glaucoma risk, macular changes, and retinal disease.
Visual Field Testing
Peripheral vision testing is commonly used in glaucoma care and may also be recommended for certain visual disturbances or neurological concerns.
Optos Ultra-Widefield Retinal Imaging
Wide-field retinal imaging helps us document retinal health, review findings with you, and compare images over time.
Pachymetry
Corneal thickness measurement can be useful in glaucoma risk assessment because corneal thickness may affect how eye pressure readings are interpreted.
