Ophthalmologist

An ophthalmologist is focused on diagnostics, treatment, and monitoring. Coming to regular eye check-ups helps to take care of your eyes and prevent diseases.

Eye examinations performed by an ophthalmologist

• 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
• Fundoscopy
• Checking for eye dryness (if necessary)
• Cycloplegic exam (in the case of symptoms) – dilating the pupil with eye drops
• Measurement of intraocular pressure (in the case of symptoms) and assigning treatment

Before the ophthalmologist’s appointment

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

In the case of unexpected eye issues, you can ask for advice via a remote appointment in the Digital Clinic.

With eye problems, it is often difficult to be sure what the actual problem is or which specialist to contact. In this case, we recommend making the first contact with a physician in the Digital Clinic. The Digital Clinic provides consultations for eye infections and symptoms of allergy.
