What does an eye examination include?

A complete picture of your eye health

General ophthalmology is the first point of contact if you notice changes in your vision, experience discomfort or simply want to check that everything is healthy. We assess your symptoms, visual acuity, prescription, intraocular pressure and the front and back of your eyes, including the retina and macula.

This examination can identify problems that may otherwise go unnoticed and determine whether you need monitoring, treatment or assessment by one of our subspecialists. We explain the results clearly and recommend the most appropriate next step.

FAQs About General Ophthalmology

Your Questions Answered

How often you need an examination depends on your age, family history, general health and whether you have any symptoms or changes in vision. After your first assessment, the ophthalmologist will advise when you should return.

We usually check your visual acuity, prescription, eye pressure and the different structures of the eye. Depending on your symptoms, we may also perform a retinal examination, OCT scan, visual field test or other diagnostic tests.

Yes. Some eye conditions can progress without obvious symptoms in their early stages. Routine examinations allow us to check your eye health and identify potential problems before they affect your vision.

No. A refraction determines the prescription needed for clearer vision, while an ophthalmology examination provides a broader assessment of the visual system and overall eye health.

Not always. The ophthalmologist will decide whether it is needed based on your age, medical history and reason for attending. Dilation provides a more detailed view inside the eye and may cause blurred vision and light sensitivity for a few hours.

Tanto mi padre como yo hemos sido pacientes de este centro, y no podemos estar más contentos y agradecidos por el trato y el cuidado que nos han dado todos sus trabajadores, desde recepción hasta consulta. En su caso, fue por una catarata extraña que le creció muy rápidamente, y que los doctores le operaron con un resultado totalmente satisfactorio. En mi caso, pedí cita por una sensación extraña que tenía en un ojo. Me hicieron hueco para esa misma tarde, me revisaron todo en profundidad y me lo solucionaron ahí mismo con una pequeña intervención. Además, me explicaron todo a la perfección y me hicieron sentir muy cómoda y tranquila desde el principio. De verdad, si tenéis algún tipo de urgencia o de necesidad relacionada con este campo de la oftalmología, no dudéis en pedir cita aquí.
