## Examination and Treatment Approach
- Every journey starts with a detailed eye examination: visual acuity, eye pressure, cornea and retina assessment and any imaging tests in the same visit.
- The treatment decision rests on these measurements, the patient's age, the distances they rely on most and their general health; options, expected results and risks are discussed with the patient.
- When surgery is needed, preparation and post-operative check-ups are handled by the same team; pre-operative tests are completed at the same hospital.

## 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.
