What is an eye exam?

Vision examination is a common medical examination used to assess people's vision health, usually performed by ophthalmologists or optometrists. The examination includes measuring vision, intraocular pressure, fundus examination and other relevant eye examinations.

Vision examination can help doctors judge whether a person's vision is normal, whether they need to wear glasses or contact lenses, and whether there are other eye health problems.

In Guangzhou, Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department is a well-known ophthalmic hospital, providing professional vision examination services. Next, we will discuss whether vision examination is painful from several aspects.

The process of vision examination

Vision examination usually includes the following steps:

The first step is to test the patient's far vision and near vision with an eye map (usually an E map). The patient needs to sit at a standard observation distance, look at the eye diagram placed in front of him, and identify the direction in the diagram.

The second step is to check for refractive errors by placing a convex lens in front of your eyes. The ophthalmologist or optometrist will ask the patient to look at the distant or near target, and then adjust it through different lenses to determine whether there is refractive error, such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, etc.

The third step is to check the fundus tissue through the ophthalmoscope to assess the internal health of the eye and check whether there are other eye diseases or abnormalities.

Is visual examination painful?

From the patient's point of view, visual examination is usually painless and does not cause discomfort. Although some people may feel some eye fatigue or discomfort, this feeling is usually temporary and will not cause any harm to the body.

The process of measuring vision will not cause any pressure or stimulation to the eyeball, but only the patient needs to look at the target in front of him and make judgment according to the doctor's instructions. This does not cause pain or discomfort.

When using the lens to check for refractive errors, the doctor will gently place the lens in front of the patient's eyes for adjustment. This process will not cause pain. The patient only needs to focus on the target and cooperate with the doctor's requirements.

Funduscopy is used to evaluate the internal health of the eyes by observing the fundus tissue. The patient only needs to cooperate with the doctor's instructions to keep the eyes stable. This process usually does not cause any pain or discomfort.

summary

To sum up, visual examination is generally painless and does not cause discomfort. Each step in the examination process will not cause any damage to the eyes, and only needs the patient to cooperate with the doctor's instructions. Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department is a hospital that provides professional vision inspection services. Patients can go to the hospital to check their vision and conduct eye health management according to the doctor's suggestions.
