What does a 4Sight iCare Eye Exam include?

A comprehensive eye exam at 4Sight iCare goes far beyond reading letters on a chart. We follow a multi-step process that evaluates both vision clarity and eye health, using advanced instruments and in-depth clinical assessment.

1. Medical & Vision History Review
We begin with a discussion about:

• Your current vision
• Any recent changes or symptoms
• Previous prescriptions or treatments
• Medical conditions that can impact eye health (e.g., diabetes, high blood pressure, autoimmune disorders)
• Family history of eye disease

This step ensures we understand your unique risks and needs before moving into testing.

2. Visual Acuity & Refraction Testing
We measure how well you see at various distances and refine your prescription for glasses or contact lenses. This step identifies refractive errors such as:

• Nearsightedness (myopia)
• Farsightedness (hyperopia)
• Astigmatism
• Presbyopia (age-related near focus difficulty)

3. Eye Health Evaluation
This is where our high-tech equipment comes into play. Depending on your needs, your exam may include:

• Retinal imaging: High-resolution photos of your eye for documentation and year-on-year comparison.
• Retinal scanning: Cross-sectional images of retinal layers to detect glaucoma, macular degeneration, or early signs of diabetic eye disease.
• Corneal topography: A detailed map of the cornea, required for special contact lens fittings and to detect the initial keratoconus.
• Visual Area Test: Optic examines peripheral vision to detect issues with nerve or brain routes.
• Reading analysis: Evaluates close-vision performance, especially for patients with eye stress or suspicious focus problems.

4. Dilated Eye Exam (When Indicated)
Dilation allows us to thoroughly examine your retina, macula, and optic nerve for signs of:

• Retinal tears or detachments
• Diabetic retinopathy
• Macular degeneration
• Glaucoma damage
• Vascular changes

Dr. Burke recommends dilation when medical history, symptoms, or initial testing suggest it’s beneficial. While temporary light sensitivity and blurred near vision can occur after dilation, the benefits for early detection are significant.

5. Lifestyle & Vision Performance Assessment
We discuss how your vision impacts:

• Reading and work performance
• Driving and night vision
• Sports and athletic performance
• Digital device use

For athletes or patients with specific performance goals, we can explore vision training and specialty lenses that go beyond 20/20 to maximize visual potential.

6. Personalized Recommendations
After your exam, you’ll receive:

• A clear explanation of findings
• Your updated prescription (if needed)
• Product or treatment recommendations suited to your needs
• Preventive care tips for maintaining eye health

The Role of Technology in Your Eye Exam

4Sight iCare is invested in state-of-the-art diagnostic tools because they allow us to see what you can’t feel or notice yet. Many eye conditions — including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration — cause no early symptoms. By the time you notice vision changes, damage may already be permanent.

Our diagnostic suite includes:

• Retinal camera and scanner: Capture wide images of the retina for initial detection and ongoing monitoring.
• Topography system: It is necessary to map the cornea for conditions like keratoconus or to design a custom contact lens.
• Virtual reality visual field testing: A comfortable, accurate way to assess peripheral vision.
• Reading Analysis Tools: Identify focusing or eye coordination issues that affect learning and reading.

This data-driven approach means each annual visit builds a record of your eyes’ health, helping us detect even small changes over time.
