Complete eye examination

Thorough examination of vision and eye health

Vision is one of the most important human senses, and regular eye examination is key to early detection of eye diseases and worsening vision. Many vision problems may develop gradually and without clear symptoms, so prevention and specialist diagnosis are extremely important.

At the ophthalmology clinic at Poliklinika Mlynská dolina in Bratislava, we provide comprehensive eye examination for children and adults. The examination includes assessment of the anterior and posterior eye segments, diopter measurement, intraocular pressure, retinal examination, and optic nerve evaluation.

Our specialists help diagnose eye conditions, propose suitable treatment, and recommend the right vision correction.

Why is regular eye examination important?

Many eye diseases in the early stages can progress without pain or major deterioration of vision. Patients often notice the problem only in an advanced stage.

Regular eye check-ups help:

• detect eye diseases early,
• prevent vision damage,
• monitor changes in vision,
• set glasses or contact lenses correctly,
• maintain good vision at every age.

Preventive eye examination is recommended regularly even when no difficulties are present.

When should you have an eye examination?

Eye examination is recommended for problems such as:

• reduced distance or near vision,
• blurred vision,
• eye or headache pain,
• burning and tired eyes,
• double vision,
• frequent tearing,
• sensitivity to light,
• suspected increased intraocular pressure,
• diabetes or high blood pressure,
• family history of glaucoma or retinal disease.

Regular check-ups are especially important after the age of 40.

What does a complete eye examination include?

Examination of the anterior eye segment

We examine:

• the cornea,
• the conjunctiva,
• the eyelids,
• the iris,
• the lens,
• the anterior chamber.

This examination helps detect inflammation, dry eye syndrome, cataract, and other diseases of the front part of the eye.

Examination of the posterior eye segment

Fundus examination includes assessment of:

• the retina,
• eye vessels,
• the macula,
• the optic nerve.

It helps diagnose:

• glaucoma,
• diabetic retinopathy,
• macular degeneration,
• retinal diseases,
• changes caused by high blood pressure.

Diopter measurement and vision check

Accurate diopter measurement helps determine:

• myopia,
• hyperopia,
• astigmatism,
• the need for glasses or contact lenses.

Correct vision correction significantly improves visual quality and daily life.

Intraocular pressure measurement

Increased intraocular pressure may be a sign of glaucoma, a disease that can lead to irreversible vision damage.

Regular intraocular pressure measurement is important especially:

• after the age of 40,
• with genetic predisposition,
• in diabetes or hypertension,
• when glaucoma is suspected.

Diagnosis of eye diseases

Comprehensive eye examination makes it possible to detect early:

• glaucoma,
• cataract,
• macular degeneration,
• diabetic retinopathy,
• dry eye syndrome,
• retinal diseases,
• inflammatory eye diseases,
• optic nerve disorders.

Early diagnosis significantly increases treatment success and helps prevent vision damage.

Individual approach and treatment plan

Based on the examination results, our specialists recommend:

• suitable treatment,
• vision correction,
• regular follow-up checks,
• preventive measures,
• additional specialist examinations if needed.

Every patient is assessed individually according to their health condition and needs.
