Eye tests carried out by an eye health professional will usually include the following common tests:
Checking the strength and control of the muscles in your eyes (eye movement and cover tests). This can help ensure eyes are working together and identify strabismus (cross eyes).
Making sure that you can read letters or identify symbols/shapes from close and from far away (visual acuity). This will help determine whether you need glasses and if so the precise prescription for your lenses (retinoscopy and refraction testing).
Checking the health of the outside of the eye and the reaction of the pupil to light (external exam and pupillary reactions).
Checking the health of the inside of the eye (slit lamp) including the cornea, iris, lens, and anterior chamber. This can help identify certain eye conditions.
