An Eye examination includes visual acuity (sight) testing, refraction, intraocular pressure measurement (eye pressure), examination of the front (anterior segment) and back (posterior segment) of the eye. Further tests such as visual field examination, OCT (ocular coherence tomography) and fundus fluorescein angiogram are performed accordingly.

An assessing staff member will do base line measurements along with imaging of the eye. Dilating eye drops will be instilled prior to seeing the Ophthalmologist as dilated pupils enable the doctor to see to the back of the eye. Once the eyes have completely dilated your Ophthalmologist takes a full medical history before continuing on with an eye examination. Further testing and imaging may be required upon request of the Ophthalmologist.

It also deals with the reconstruction of the eye and associated structures.

Vitreoretinal (VR) surgery is a subspecialised field in ophthalmology involving surgery in the posterior segment (back part) of the eye. VR surgery is required to treat severe sight threatening conditions such as retinal detachment, macular holes and advanced proliferative diabetic retinopathy. It is also employed in treating visually debilitating conditions such as epiretinal membranes and symptomatic vitreous opacity.
