Eye surgery, also known as ophthalmic surgery or ocular surgery, is surgery performed on the eye or its adnexa.
Vision screening is a way to find children who might have eye problems or vision issues. The goal is to find problems early so they can be fixed. Screenings happen at schools, doctor offices, and in the community. If there is a concern about vision, how the eyes line up, or how the eyes look at these screenings, a more in-depth examination with an eye care provider (ophthalmologist) is recommended. Vision screening usually happens many times during childhood.
A comprehensive eye exam is a full checkup for your eyes. It consists of several noninvasive eye tests so your eye doctor can assess your total eye health, not just your vision. Like yearly checkups with a family doctor, it’s very important to have routine eye exams with an optometrist.
Many eye conditions don't cause any symptoms or noticeable vision changes. And, unfortunately, vision screenings and basic vision tests can often miss these problems. This is why having yearly comprehensive eye exams is the best way to stay on top of your overall eye health. They allow you and your eye doctor to catch any issues before they can lead to vision loss.
Plus, a comprehensive eye exam could even alert you to other types of health concerns. Routine eye exams can detect the early signs of over 250 different systemic conditions. Many people are able to take important preventive steps for their health due to early warnings from their eye exams.
