A standard consultation with an optometrist:

A standard eye examination takes 30 minutes and includes screening for all common eye diseases, such as glaucoma and cataracts. The optometrist will also:

• talk to you and develop your case history
• examine your eyes for any vision problems, signs of eye disease or other abnormalities
• assess your eyes for a focusing disorder
• measure your eye movement and coordination
• perform further tests if required
• refer you, if needed, to your local doctor or ophthalmologist (an eye specialist who performs eye surgery and treats eye diseases).
