Comprehensive Eye Screening

Comprehensive Eye Examination

At Philip D Izaac , we are equipped to provide a comprehensive eye screening that will help assess your optical health and prevent ocular conditions that can impair your vision.

Why Attend an Eye Health Screening?

Comprehensive eye health screenings are a preventive measure to protect you from various eye conditions that can cause vision loss. Our eye health constantly changes due to ageing and daily lifestyles, whether at work or play. Your optometrist will use optical equipment and procedures to diagnose your eye health and look for early signs of an eye condition, allowing them to treat it immediately and resolve complications before they worsen.

Most eye conditions can gradually occur without noticeable symptoms until a later stage, and not getting prompt treatment can potentially lead to permanent vision loss. Attending an early eye health screening can be empowering in preserving your vision and ensuring your quality of life is not significantly impacted.

Choose Philip D Izaac as your optical healthcare provider for your eye care. We use medically approved optical equipment to monitor your optical well-being and make recommendations to help you maintain your vision.

Concerned About Your Eye Health?

If you have certain health conditions or symptoms, a comprehensive eye screening is more than just a vision check—it’s a vital step in protecting your overall eye health.

We strongly recommend scheduling an eye screening if you:

Have glaucoma or a family history of it
Live with diabetes or high blood pressure (hypertension)
Experience flashes of light or floating spots in your vision

These conditions can affect your eyesight in subtle ways and may not show obvious symptoms early on. Our diagnostic tools help detect issues early—before they impact your vision permanently.

When Should You Get a Comprehensive Eye Health Screening?

Unlike regular eye health checkups, a comprehensive eye health screening is a more thorough process to look for early signs of an underlying eye condition. Adults between the ages of 18 and 64 should ideally attend a comprehensive eye health screening every two years; if you have a family history of eye conditions or are at risk due to other extenuating factors, you should undergo a comprehensive screening annually to minimise the risk of future complications.

Moreover, a regular eye health screening does not provide an in-depth examination of your health; it only looks for vision impairments and provides recommendations to correct them. It cannot detect eye diseases or conditions and is not as thorough as a comprehensive screening.

Optos ultra-widefield retinal imaging device used for retina scans

Optos Wide Field Imaging

Optos wide field imaging helps us screen for eye diseases in the eye's periphery. It can scan approximately 85% of the eye in a 200° view, compared to about 15% (or 45°) in traditional retinal imaging, generating an optomap image that captures the retina. The optomap enables our optometrists to get a clearer view of your retina and nearby blood vessels, which helps to determine the presence of underlying eye conditions or other diseases. It is a safe diagnostic process for evaluating your optical health and detecting retinal pathology early before symptoms occur. Optos wide field imaging is highly recommended for those with high myopia of more than -6.00Ds, anyone frequently experiencing flashes or floaters in their eye, or those with diabetes or hypertension.

Optical Coherence Tomography system displaying retinal cross-section scan

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)

OCT is a valuable noninvasive tool for diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma and other eye conditions (like macular degeneration) by measuring the retinal fibre layer’s thickness over time. OCT scans also help us detect issues with the retina through their layered scanning function.

Octopus 600 visual field analyzer used for peripheral vision testing

Visual Field Test

A visual field test aims to check your visual field, or how much area your eye can see while focusing on a central point. Its primary purpose is to find “blind spots” in your vision (areas where you cannot perceive an image) and where these blind spots are. A blind spot’s size and shape can indicate how much your vision has changed due to an eye condition or other complication.

Standard Tests During Your Eye Health Screening

Your comprehensive eye health screening with us will include these standard tests in addition to the diagnostics provided by the aforementioned optical devices.

Phoropter used during an eye exam to determine vision prescription

Refraction

The refraction test, sometimes called a vision test, diagnoses refractive errors that affect your vision and determines your required lens power for prescribing eyeglasses. The ideal value is 20/20 vision, meaning you have perfect vision; anything less than that amount is considered a refractive error. Part of the test includes identifying letters on a wall chart at a distance from your seated position. You will identify the letters the optometrist points to on the chart while viewing them through a Phoroptor. The optometrist will switch lenses on the Phoroptor to gauge the suitable lenses you need to achieve almost 20/20 vision.

Slit lamp

A slit lamp is a special microscope with a bright light attached to it, allowing the optometrist to examine your eye’s structures, such as the anterior to ensure that the cornea, crystalline lens, iris, conjunctiva and eyelid are all clear. The light is also adjustable to help the optometrist take a closer, more precise look at your eye’s structures to examine your eye health. It can be helpful to diagnose cataracts, dry eye syndrome, and other eye conditions.

Fundus

Also known as a fundoscopic examination, the fundus test is a noninvasive diagnostic that captures images of the back of the eye (the fundus) with up to 50° of coverage. It uses a device with a low-power microscope attached to a camera to capture detailed images of your fundus. Our optometrists can examine the images to determine if you have an eye condition or injury to the retina or other eye structures.

iCare handheld tonometer used to measure intraocular pressure

Eye pressure check

This test checks the eye's pressure, as elevated pressure is one of the early signs of glaucoma. Normal eye pressure is between 10mmHg and 20mmHg, and any changes can damage the ocular nerve or even tissue in the eye. Our comprehensive eye health screening will consist of all these tests and is priced at SD 345, including GST.

Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get regular comprehensive eye health screenings?

Regular eye checkups are sufficient to ensure your optical health is good. If you suspect that you may have an eye condition, you can contact your optometrist to undergo a comprehensive eye health screening to determine if your eye has a condition that needs treatment.
