Eye tests
During an ophthalmological consultation, the standard is to perform the following examinations:
- computerized eye examination using an auto refractometer
- assessment of far and near vision, fitting corrective glasses if needed
- measurement of intraocular pressure using an applanation tonometer
- examination of the eyelids, conjunctiva, cornea and other outer parts of the eye using a slit lamp
- examination of the fundus of the eye by a slit lamp using Volka 90D and 78D lenses
- examination of the fundus of the eye using an ophthalmoscope
Additionally, during eye examinations for workers and drivers, we test:
- stereoscopic vision
- colour vision
We also perform tests specific to certain eye diseases:

- administering medicine to the tear ducts and removing lacrimal sac abscess if needed
