Ophthalmologic Assessment
Ophthalmologic Assessment is a comprehensive eye health evaluation performed by a ophthalmologist. This assessment includes a thorough examination of vision, eye structures, and neurological connections related to sight. It may also involve dilation of the pupils, visual acuity testing, intraocular pressure measurements, and imaging such as OCT or fundus photography.
​
Patients may undergo additional testing depending on their symptoms, including field of vision tests or assessments for damage to the optic nerve or retina.

This assessment is typically recommended for individuals who:
-
