Eye Examinations
Your eyes are extremely important to your daily life. You constantly rely on your clear vision to get you through everyday activities, both at home and in the office. But there is more to healthy eyes than clear vision.
At Kofsky Optometry your comprehensive eye test will take approximately 30 minutes. During your examination the following is checked:
- Eye Health - both internal and external
- General Physical Health (It is important to advise the optometrist of any medication or family history of eye conditions.)
- Clearness of vision (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism)
- Colour Vision
- Focusing ability (Presbyopia)
- Eye muscle movement and control
- Ambliopia (lazy eye)
- Glaucoma
- Cataract
- Retinal camera assessment

During the test, both the front of your eye (the cornea, conjunctiva, iris lens and lids), and the inside of your eye (lens, retinal blood vessels and optic nerve head) will be inspected for any sign of problems, such as cataract or glaucoma, or other diseases such as high blood pressure or diabetes. If signs of any such problems are present, you will be refered to an eye specialist (ophthalmologist), or a general practitioner.
Following the examination, we will carefully explain the results of your testing and discuss our recommendations regarding any needed preventive or remedial care.

Digital Retinal Imaging
This technology lets us examine the optic nerve, macula, retina and blood vessels in precise detail. And although it sounds space age, the digital image produced is an invaluable diagnostic tool that also allows accurate record keeping so we can monitor any changes in your eyes. This is a great tool for eye conditions like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration and changes that are associated with high blood pressure
Visual Field Testing
Visual Field testing can be completed at Kofsky Optometry allowing us to provide the highest level of patient care. The test maps the level of peripheral vision that a patient has and compare it to age-determined values - invaluable in diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma.
