We at Rockingham Optometry provide a comprehensive examination that tests for:
1) Visual acuity and blood pressure checks
2) Neurological-Extraocular
muscles
- Check for eye turns or palsies due to stroke. Pupils can help detect brain tumors or aneurysms.
- Peripheral visual fields are used to screen for glaucoma, brain tumors and changes.
3) We specialize in high prescriptions for glasses and contact lens
with astigmatism.
4) Intraocular pressure is used for screening for glaucoma,
which can sneak up on you and cause loss of eye sight if left undiagnosed.
5) Health assessment of:
- Eyelids and lashes
- Cornea
- Conjunctiva and Sclera (check for "pink eye")
- Crystalline lens (check for cataracts)
- Vitreous (check for floaters)
- Retina (check for holes, tears or leaking blood vessels due to high blood pressure.
"If the health of the eye goes bad, it doesn't matter what glasses or contact lens you are wearing." Loss of vision can often be avoided if the pathology is caught early and treated. However, if the damage is allowed to occur, the vision cannot regenerate.
We also can help patients with low vision needs now featuring the new space-age, high-tech "Jordy" (enlarged print, books on tape, telescope, and handheld magnifiers).
We offer limited vision therapy for help with tracking problems such as eye turns and dyslexia.
We treat eye infections and glaucoma. We remove foreign bodies, treat chemical burns, etc.
