Glaucoma Halifax
Medical Exams
Comprehensive medical eye exams and advanced diagnostic tests for diabetes, glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration.
Medical Exams
A dilated medical examination increases the size of your pupils by instilling eye drops. This allows our optometrists to fully examine the health of the structures and tissues of your eyes. This exam is an important step to preventing and treating your eye conditions that could lead to vision loss. Common conditions that can be diagnosed and treated include:
Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a common eye disease that can damage your vision by deteriorating your optic nerve, leading to blindness. Glaucoma may not be preventable, but early diagnosis and treatment can help control the condition and limit its effects.
Cataracts
Cataracts is a common eye condition when your clear crystalline lens becomes rigid and opaque, affecting your vision. Cataracts start small and develop slowly, causing a slight blur to your vision, and can worsen if undetected.
Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration is the loss of your central vision due to damage to your retina, which is often related to age. Common symptoms include blurred vision, decreased perception of vivid colours, or obstruction in the centre of vision.
Protect your vision with annual checkups.
Our Examination Process
Our comprehensive eye exams assess and correct your vision to diagnose ocular diseases. We include a complete vision test to determine your prescription for eyewear, an ocular motility exam to test your eye movements and to evaluate your optical health.
After our exam, you’ll receive our diagnoses and treatment plan to manage your optical health. We will review your eye health status and provide our recommendations.
Most of our exams are completed in about 20-30 minutes.

Our Advanced Technology
Eye Doc Optometry is proud to offer advanced state-of-the-art technology to diagnose, assess and treat your ocular health.
Goldmann Applanation Tonometry is the ‘gold standard’ for measuring IOP levels due to its accuracy and reliability. During this test, the tonometer gently presses a probe against the surface of the eye, measuring the amount of force needed to flatten it.
Icare tonometer is a small, handheld device that can accurately measure your IOP levels by pressing a small probe against your cornea. This process is quick and can confirm the existence of glaucoma.
The only way to treat cataracts is with surgery. During cataract surgery, your ophthalmologist replaces your cataract lens with an artificial intraocular lens, helping correct your vision.
This ultra-wide retinal camera takes an HD image of the back of your eye. This exam allows us to see early signs of eye diseases, like macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic eye disease, as well as other health conditions, like stroke, diabetes or others.
An OCT takes a cross-section image of your retina, which shows us a detailed view of your retina’s thin layers to detect early signs of eye diseases, like glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and diabetic eye diseases.
An anterior segment camera takes HD photos of the eye’s anterior segment, which includes the cornea, iris, ciliary body, and lens. These images allow us to see several eye diseases, including cataracts, corneal conditions, macular degeneration and pterygium.
