Presbyopia & Cataract
Order of Examination
| Step Number | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Questionnaire: | |
| 02 | ARK | Measure keratometry, refractive error, pupil size, interpupillary distance |
| 03 | IOP | Measure eye pressure |
| 04 | Current glasses | Measure the strength of your current glasses |
| 05 | EYESIGHT TEST: | After measuring subjective & objective refraction, the exact refraction errors as well as presbyopic addition are checked |
Cataract Examination Process
| Step Number | Test Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 05 | EYESIGHT TEST | Measure how much vision has deteriorated because of cataract through subjective & objective refraction test and calculate the predicted post-operative vision |
| 06 | PENTACAM | Measure the degree of cataract and corneal curvature through a tomogram of the cornea and lens |
| 07 | FUNDUS PHOTO | Observe the degree of cataract, the optic nerves in the midperiphery of the retina and retina degeneration through optogram |
| 08 | CIRRUS OCT | Check for glaucoma and closely evaluate retina degeneration with a CAT scan of the optic nerve and macula |
| 09 | A-SCAN | Measure the length of the eyeball with ultrasound to calculate the exact customized IOL strength |
| 10 | Mydriasis test & Consultation | After mydriatic eye drops have been instilled, your own personal specialist will check your lens, retina |
| 11 | Check Results | All the results from each examination and the procedure and precaution of your surgery will be explained, and any questions you might have will be answered |

Eyesight Test
-
Questionnaire
Filling out our questionnaire is the most basic step of it. It allows us to find out your previous medical history and your family medical history. Also it enables us to know your exact condition and what vision problems you are experiencing.
-
Eyeglass Test
Inspecting the exact strength of the eye glasses you are currently wearing helps us to measure your myopia, astigmatism, and hyperopia.
-
Automatic Refractive Power Test
Your exact refraction error is measured by used the most advanced optical equipment.
-
Manifest Refraction Test
Your maximum correct vision with glasses can be predicted with visual acuity test. The calculated maximum corrected vision is theoretically the maximum post-operative vision you will have.
-
Cycloplegic Refraction Test
Cycloplegic eye drops are used to temporarily paralyze the ciliary muscles that control focusing to determine your exact refractive error.
-
Subordinate Cycloplegic Refraction Test
After 3~5 days of the cycloplegic refraction test, when the medicinal effects have disappeared, another vision test is done. This is to calculate the change to more accurately measure myopia and astigmatism.
-
Dominant Eye Test
This is to find out which one of your eyes is the dominant one.
