Eye Treatments/ Follow-Up
Many treatments and follow-up care are offered to patients with diverse conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, dry eyes…
Pupil Dilatation: when required. Allows the optometrist to better evaluate the background of the eye for the ocular health.
- Covered by the Health Insurance Card for diabetes and for superior myopia at 5D (when the regular examination is covered)
- As many patients feels glare and blurred vision, it is recommended to not drive for several hours following the pupil dilation. (It can last up to 12 hours depending on the drops used).
Pupil Dilatation for Children (cycloplegia): when required.
- Allows the optometrist to have a more precise prescription (preventing the eye from straining during the examination).
- The glare and blurred vision last around 12 hours for the cycloplegia.
OCT Scan:
- Allows the best evaluation of the macula (dry macular degeneration versus humid and other macular pathologies) and of the optic nerve (glaucoma and other optic nerve pathologies).
Visual Threshold Test: when required.
- Allows to evaluate the smallest light intensity detected by the patient inside the central visual field (principally for the glaucoma evaluation and the maculopathy cause by Plaquenil).
