How The Human Eye Works
The eye is a sensory organ that perceives light, transforms it into an electrical signal, and sends it to the brain to produce an image.
Diagnostic Testing
If you’re experiencing issues with your eyes, our diagnostic testing services can help identify potential eye disorders and guide you toward the appropriate care.
What is Diagnostic Testing?
A diagnostic test can include various procedures that assess the health of your eyes and uncover any conditions that might be affecting your vision. At the Center for Retina and Macular Disease, our specialists use advanced tools and techniques to thoroughly examine the eyes, detecting conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and more.
These tests provide the necessary information to create a treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.
Signs You Might Need Diagnostic Testing
- Sudden blurred or double vision
- Eye pain or discomfort
- Flashes of light or floaters
- Red, swollen, or inflamed eyes
- Unusual sensitivity to light
- Chronic dry eyes or excessive tearing
- Difficulty seeing at night
- Distorted vision or wavy lines
- Eye injury affecting vision
- Family history of eye diseases
If any of these symptoms sound familiar, our team at the Center for Retina and Macular Disease can perform a diagnostic procedure to determine the underlying cause and recommend the best way forward. While blood tests and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are not typically needed for diagnosing eye conditions, our doctors will evaluate your specific situation to determine the most appropriate tests.
By understanding the risks associated with various eye diseases, we can tailor our approach to meet the unique needs of each patient, ensuring a comprehensive evaluation and accurate diagnosis.
