Advanced Eye Health & Disease Detection with Smart Eye Testing

An eye examination brings together your visual concerns, relevant history and examination findings. At our Bondi and Mosman practices, the optometrist explains which tests are appropriate and discusses the results and next steps with you.

Why Regular Eye Tests are Important

Some eye conditions can develop without noticeable symptoms. Examination may include checks of visual clarity, side vision, eye movements, eye pressure and the health of internal eye structures. The tests and review interval depend on your needs and risk factors. The National Eye Institute explains the components of a dilated eye examination.

Advanced Technology for Eye Examinations

Different tests provide different information. Your optometrist selects and interprets them alongside the rest of your examination. Testing available through our practices includes:

Slit Lamp Examination
A slit lamp allows a detailed examination of structures at the front of the eye, including the cornea, iris and lens. Findings are considered alongside the other parts of your eye-health examination.

Computerised Visual Field Testing
Visual field testing measures your peripheral, or side, vision. Changes in the results may need further assessment; the test is interpreted with your history and other examination findings.

Retinal Imaging
Digital photographs record the appearance of the retina, optic nerve and associated blood vessels. They support assessment and comparison over time, alongside the examination and any other indicated tests.

Note
Additional tests are selected according to your needs. Ask the practice which tests are proposed, their fees and whether any Medicare rebate applies before proceeding. Retinal photographs and other services may involve an out-of-pocket cost.

Understanding Your Results

Ask what your results mean, whether any further tests are needed and when to return. For related background, our article on how sight and vision work together explains why reading an eye chart is only part of the picture. If close work has become harder with age, read our guide to near-vision changes at midlife before discussing your symptoms at an appointment.
