Eye examinations are medical tests that assess the health and function of the eyes. They are an important part of detecting and monitoring eye complaints or eye conditions.The goal is to examine complaints such as blurred vision, double vision, flashes of light, spots, redness, itching or pain in the eyes, and to identify risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, medication use or hereditary conditions such as glaucoma. Several measurements are taken during the consultation: vision measurements to assess vision, refractive testing for abnormalities such as nearsightedness or farsightedness, and eye pressure measurements to evaluate the risk of glaucoma.In addition, a slit-lamp examination closely examines the anterior structures of the eye, such as the cornea and lens. A fundus examination allows assessment of the retina, optic nerve and blood vessels, possibly after pupil dilation. Pupil reactions, eye movements and coordination are also examined, especially in neurological or muscle-related complaints. These examinations help detect abnormalities in time and support doctors in determining appropriate treatment.
