Comprehensive Adult Eye Exams

A comprehensive eye exam involves a visual acuity test to measure vision at various distances, and a dilated eye exam to examine the structures of the eye for any signs of disease. During this test, your doctor can examine the retina and optic nerve with a special magnifying lens. Tonometry may also be performed during a comprehensive eye exam to measure the pressure inside the eye with a special instrument.

Blue Water Eye Care Associates, P.C - macular degeneration

Macular degeneration occurs when the macula, a part of the retina in the back of the eye that ensures that our vision is clear and sharp, degrades or "degenerates," causing a progressive loss of vision. Macular degeneration is the number one cause of blindness in the United States. A dark or empty area appearing in the center of vision. A gradual loss of ability to see objects clearly.

Blue Water Eye Care Associates, P.C - glaucoma

One of the leading causes of blindness in the United States, glaucoma occurs when the pressure inside the eye rises high enough to damage the optic nerve. Glaucoma is an eye disease where the optic nerve (a cord that transmits visual information from the eye to the brain) degenerates. Vision loss usually begins at the edges of your vision. No one knows yet why the blockages form.
