What Is a Comprehensive Medical Eye Exam?
A comprehensive medical eye exam goes far beyond a routine vision screening. This thorough evaluation focuses on diagnosing and treating medical eye conditions, ensuring that your eyes are functioning properly and are free of disease.
Our eye exams typically include:
Full review of your medical and ocular history
Eye pressure testing (to screen for glaucoma)
Slit-lamp evaluation of the front of the eye
Dilated retinal examination to assess the retina, macula, and optic nerve
Monitoring for common conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and cataracts
If you are looking for a trusted eye care specialist in Northern Virginia, we are here to help you protect your vision for life.
Diabetic Eye Exams
If you have diabetes, annual diabetic eye exams are crucial for detecting early signs of diabetic retinopathy, a leading cause of blindness in adults. Many patients do not experience symptoms until the disease is advanced, making early detection and monitoring essential.
During a diabetic eye exam, we will:
Dilate your pupils to examine the retina in detail
Evaluate the blood vessels for signs of leakage or swelling
Provide a report to your primary care physician or endocrinologist for coordinated care
Our ophthalmologists are highly experienced in providing diabetic eye care in Northern Virginia, helping you maintain healthy vision over time.
Plaquenil Eye Monitoring and Visual Field Testing
Patients taking Plaquenil (hydroxychloroquine) for conditions such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis require regular monitoring for potential retinal toxicity. Our practice follows the latest guidelines for Plaquenil eye exams, which may include:
Baseline and ongoing visual field testing (10-2 or 24-2)
Optical coherence tomography (OCT), if indicated
Detailed documentation for your prescribing physician
We are a trusted provider of Plaquenil eye monitoring in Northern Virginia, ensuring any early changes are detected and managed appropriately.
