Complete Eye check-up for the Whole Family

What happens during an eye examination?

This is how we do a COMPREHENSIVE EYE CHECK-UP at Oculus.

RECORDS

  • Your contact details
  • Past and present eye problems
  • General health conditions such as diabetes or hypertension
  • Family history of hereditary eye diseases like glaucoma

EYE EXAMINATION

  • Computerized and manual vision check, including prescription of eyeglasses.
  • Examination of the anterior parts of your eyes using a slit lamp microscope.
  • Measurement of intraocular pressure.
  • Retinal and optic nerve examination after pupil dilation with eye drops. This may cause blurred vision for approximately 5-6 hours.

COMPREHENSIVE PREVENTION PLAN
Based on your age, eye condition, and medical history, Dr. Jagruti Desai will assess your risk for common eye problems prevalent in the Indian population. She will recommend the appropriate time for your next check-up. Please visit us as advised to ensure lifelong eye health.

How to Keep Your Eyes Healthy

1. Maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular moderate exercise.
2. Follow a balanced diet rich in proteins, healthy fats (including omega-3 fatty acids), and high-fiber carbohydrates.
3. Ensure adequate intake of antioxidants and vitamins from a variety of fruits and vegetables to support eye health.

Education and Knowledge

We will give you informative articles about your eye condition so that you can understand and help us with your treatment. We will provide general eye care information for you and your family. We advise a SIMPLE HOME VISION CHECK for everybody above the age of 50. On the first of every month, close one eye and look at a calendar or a clock in your house; then close the other eye and check. I would request you to go home and tell all your relations above the age of 50 to do this and get their regular eye check-up. You may help somebody save their sight.

All You Need to Know About Eye Drops

  • Use Only One Drop: A single drop is sufficient for effectiveness.
  • How to Instill Eye Drops:
    1. Wash your hands thoroughly.
    2. Gently pull down the lower eyelid to create a small pocket.
    3. Instill one drop into the pocket without touching the eye.
  • Using Multiple Eye Drops: If prescribed more than one type, wait at least one minute between applications.
  • Punctal Occlusion: Eye drops may drain into your nose and throat, reducing their effectiveness. To maximize absorption, gently press both sides of the bridge of your nose with your thumb and index finger for about 30 seconds after instilling the drop. Ask our staff for a demonstration if needed.
  • Storage: Store eye drop bottles in the refrigerator whenever possible to maintain their efficacy.
