Eye Examinations
Dalton-Brown Optometrists specializes in full comprehensive eye examinations of the eye for defects of refraction(vision) and detecting eye diseases. Patients are provided with correctional lenses and/or eye exercises and a management strategy for anomalous eye conditions. Comprehensive eye examinations will also include tonometry, the test for the intra-ocular pressure of the eye to screen specifically for glaucoma, slit-lamp examinations to screen for dry eyes and other external eye conditions and ophthalmoscopy to screen for cataracts, diabetes, glaucoma and other pathology. -
Contact Lenses
Our contact lens examinations will include fitting soft disposable contact lenses, scleral lenses, and rigid gas permeable lenses as required for the correction of refractive errors. We also supply colored contact lenses and daily disposable lenses for cosmetic and therapeutic management of eye conditions. We specialise in fitting scleral contact lenses for keratoconus and OrthoK lenses for myopia management. -
Myopia Management
Myopia (short sightedness) greatly impacts the quality of life and the personal development of our children. Myopia management involves treatments to keep the level of myopia as low as possible and therefore reduce the risk of serious sight-threatening eye diseases. -
Cycloplegic Refractions
A cycloplegic refraction is a procedure used to determine the complete refractive error by temporarily relaxing the muscles that aid in focusing the eye. Cycloplegic eye drops are used to temporarily relax the ciliary body/focusing muscle of the eye to obtain the best corrective lenses required. This procedure is sometimes used in eye examinations for children. -
Dry Eye Testing and Management
Extensive examination of corneal curvature (topography), tear film status, meibomian gland function, blink rate and corneal health followed by a warm compress to soothe and stimulate better tear function. -
OCT / Ocular Coherence Tomography
OCT is an imaging method used to generate a picture of the back of the eye, called the retina. OCT is routinely used to image the eyes of patients with glaucoma, and we are proud to announce that we have acquired this technology to further the scope of Dalton-Brown Optometrists to help with the diagnosis of Glaucoma and Macular diseases. -
Glaucoma Screening
Dalton-Brown Optometrists offers the latest advanced technology screening for Glaucoma including Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT), Visual Field Testing (VFT) & Corneal Pachymetry ( Measuring the Thickness of the Cornea). Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the world, according to the World Health Organization, and can cause irreversible vision loss without any symptoms or forewarning. Contact us today to find out more about our Glaucoma Screening Package. -
Visual Field Tests
Our Visual Field Testing (VFT) machine is used to detect early visual field loss efficiently and easily. The optometrist will recommend VFT if there is a family history of glaucoma or if there is an indication found during the full comprehensive eye examination. Glaucoma is an eye disease which could lead to blindness if not detected early and managed. Early glaucoma detection is critical for a good prognosis. -
Tonometry
Tonometry measures the intra-ocular pressure of the eye. This test is used specifically to screen for glaucoma and forms an integral part of our full comprehensive eye examination. -
Pathology Screening
A full comprehensive eye examination includes screening for pathologies such as diabetes, glaucoma, hypertension, cataracts, and much more. Slit-lamp examinations and ophthalmoscopy with drops to dilate the pupil results in a thorough examination of the external eye and the back of the eye providing detailed information regarding ocular health. These results collate to determine the best approach for optimal eye care for our patients. -
Anciliary Tests
Full comprehensive eye examinations will include an assessment of binocular vision, color vision testing, depth perception testing, ocular dominance and much more. The results are used for completion of vision reports for driving licenses, firearm licenses, etc.
