Medical Eye Exam

A routine vision examis a “wellness checkup” that focuses on measuring your vision and determining the refractive state of the eye” (i.e. Measurement for glasses). It includes screening for some common eye problems, but does not include treatment of eye problems or diseases.

If a medical eye problem is discovered, then you may be asked to return for a medical exam and/or further testing.

$Refraction$

Refraction is the part of the vision exam that determines if and what prescription is needed for glasses (and is the first step to determine if you can wear contact lenses). Note: Medicare does not cover refractions, but does cover medical eye exams.

A Medical Vision Exam is a dilated “wellness checkup” that includes diagnosis or treatment of any medical condition of the eye. Diabetes, Cataracts, and Glaucoma, are all medical conditions that require a dilated exam by an ophthalmologist. Many of these diseases are silent, and can only be picked up by a careful eye exam.

Dilation “enlargement of the pupil” allows the doctor to look at the back of the eye, (the retina, optic nerve etc.) this enables the doctor to evaluate the health of the eye.

Dr. Bunin will carefully evaluate you and listen to your concerns, then offer you the best option(s) regarding your medical eye care. Dr. Bunin can help you understand your options and decide what’s best for YOU.

If you are not having any eye health issues and are younger than 55, a vision exam is a good place to start. If you are having any medical problems (floaters, flashes, red eyes, dry or tearing eyes, pain in the eye, lumps or bumps, cataracts, glaucoma, etc.) or if you have diabetes or another systemic disease than can affect your eyes, then you should schedule a medical eye exam.
