 Eye
examinations at Brainerd Eyecare Center utilize state-of-the-art
ophthalmic equipment and personalized attention from the doctors
and staff. Allow approximately one hour and plan on having
your pupils dilated. Your examination will include sharpness
of vision testing, blood pressure measurement, a computerized
visual field test, and eye muscle coordination and focusing
tests. Your doctor will personally conduct the examination
to determine your eyeglass and/or contact lens prescription. The
outside of the eye will be examined with a slit lamp microscope
and the inside of your eye through a dilated pupil to diagnose
diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma, and retinal
degeneration. Among the specialized tests available when
indicated are retinal photography, corneal topography and
 optic
nerve and retinal thickness scanning. Your eye health is our utmost concern.
On
the day of your examination please bring all insurance
information with you as well as your glasses and contact
lenses. We will also be asking you to complete a medical and
eye history form. If you would like to have these
forms completed before your visit, please download them by
following the instructions below, and bring the completed forms
with you to the scheduled appointment.
