  1. Different Types of Eye Exam It is advisable for almost everyone to go for an eye exam, even if you feel you have a perfect vision. Although some people need corrective lenses, others may be unknowingly suffering from serious eye disease, the outcome of which cannot be known at an early stage. It is unless you go for an eye test; you will be able to know about any serious eye problem. Glaucoma, cataracts, retinal detachment, and disorders of the cornea are some of the serious eye problems leading to loss of vision. Glaucoma has no early signs unless leading to compromise in vision. Optometrist and Ophthalmologists perform a wide range of test starting from minor tests like eye chart and moving ahead to more intricate tests like checking the minute structure of eyes to spot any serious eye problem. If you are located in Sterling, V, and opting to go for an eye exam, you are lucky enough since there are many clinics conducting eye exam in Sterling, VA.

  2. Different types of Eye Exam: Visual Acuity: It is a classic eye chart test in which the optometrist uses a chart that often has numbers or alphabets written on it.

The test will help in detecting your vision and also the visual acuity and also the ability to focus on distant objects. Cover test: This test helps in detecting the ability of your eyes to work together when focussing on a particular object. At the time you focus on a distant object, the doctor covers each eye individually. In the process, the adjustment speed of each eye is judged. Isolating each eye helps in revealing the problem that could be masked due to both the eyes working in accord. Refraction: It is an upper version of retinoscopy. While the former gives a general prescription, refraction exam gives exact results. In this process, you look through several lenses in sequence with the help of a phoropter placed in front of your eyes. You are asked to judge which two lenses perfectly give a clearer picture. Further, by narrowing the lenses, the doctor can find the perfect pair of lenses for you.
