Clinical Assessments
Vision Testing
Range of Services
Eye Examinations in Kariong
Routine eye checks or changes in vision often lead to an eye examination. For patients in Kariong, this involves assessing how clearly the eyes are functioning and reviewing overall eye health using clinical testing. During consultation, we may measure visual acuity, assess prescription requirements and examine eye structures depending on the findings.
Examination can include:
- Measuring visual clarity and reviewing prescription changes
- Assessing eye health using clinical examination methods
Testing is adapted based on individual needs, including age, symptoms and relevant history.
OCT Scans in Kariong
When further detail is needed, OCT imaging may be used to examine internal eye structures. Patients from Kariong can attend one of our clinics for scans that capture detailed images of the retina and optic nerve using light-based technology. These cross-sectional images support assessment alongside other clinical findings gathered during consultation.
OCT imaging may involve:
- Capturing detailed images of retinal and optic nerve layers
- Supporting clinical assessment with imaging data
Imaging may be repeated over time to monitor structural changes.
Dry Eye Treatment in Kariong
Dry eye symptoms can relate to how the tear film forms and behaves across the surface of the eye. For patients in Kariong, assessment involves examining the eye surface and identifying factors that may contribute to dryness or irritation. This may include reviewing environmental conditions, eyelid function and tear stability during consultation.
Assessment may involve:
- Reviewing tear production and stability
- Identifying contributing environmental or lifestyle factors
Findings from the consultation guide how dry eye is managed and treated over time, including options such as. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) therapy. Follow-up may be arranged where reassessment is required based on symptoms or clinical observations.
Macular Degeneration Screening in Kariong
The macula plays a role in central vision and is assessed through targeted screening where required. Patients from Kariong attend for this type of assessment as part of routine care or when changes in vision are noticed. Screening may include imaging and clinical testing to examine the structure and function of this area.
Screening may involve:
- Imaging to assess macular structure
- Testing central vision performance

Results are reviewed during the consultation and recorded for comparison where required. Additional testing may be included depending on what is observed during assessment.
