## Tests Used in the Examination
Tests are completed in the same visit, are painless and most never touch the eye. Which tests are needed is decided during the examination.
- **Refraction and corneal curvature:** the first automated measurement, the basis of the prescription.
- **Eye pressure:** measured without touching the eye with a short puff of air, no drops.
- **Corneal map:** topography and Scheimpflug scanning for thickness and curvature; used for keratoconus screening and laser suitability.
- **Quality of vision:** wavefront analysis separates corneal from lens error; weighed when choosing between laser and lens exchange.
- **Retina and optic nerve:** OCT, colour fundus photography and visual field testing detect macular, glaucoma and diabetes-related changes before the patient notices them.
- **Optical biometry:** calculates intraocular lens power when surgery is planned.
