7.Slit-Lamp Exam
A tool called a slit-lamp microscope lights up and magnifies the front of your eye. This gives your eye doctor a close look at your eyelids, eyelashes, and your cornea, the clear, curved front of your eye. The microscope also helps them check your iris (the colored part) and the clear lens behind your pupil that focuses light onto the back of your eye. They’ll look for scars, scratches, and cloudiness in your lens called cataracts.
8.Refraction Test
This can tell if light bends — or refracts — correctly through your cornea and lens. The test usually starts with a retinoscopy. Your eye doctor will take measurements as they shine light into your eye. Then, you’ll sit behind a machine while they flip through a set of lenses and ask you which ones help you see better. Depending on the results, you may need glasses, contacts, or surgery to correct your vision.
