Optometrist

An optometrist checks and corrects visual acuity. We consult patients who require optical aids and issue prescriptions for glasses.

Eye examinations performed by an optometrist

• Refractometry – objective measurement of visual acuity
• Subjective measurement of visual acuity
• Measurement of eye dryness (in the case of symptoms)
• Measurement of intraocular pressure (in the case of symptoms)
• Biomicroscopy of the anterior segment of the eye (in the case of symptoms)
• Colour blindness testing (if necessary)
• Assigning and prescribing glasses (in the case of symptoms)
• Treatment and recommendations for further testing

Before the optometrist’s appointment

• If you wear glasses, we ask you to bring your glasses and, if possible, the prescription for your current glasses.
• Please remove your contact lenses before the appointment
