Comprehensive Eye Examination for Adults (For Cataract/Glaucoma/Macular Degeneration) (DREYE01)
Comprehensive Eye Examination for Adults
Most people often use computers and different screen devices for a long time, which can easily put pressure on the eyes, so eye health cannot be ignored. However, the initial symptoms of many eye diseases have no obvious impact on vision, and they have already caused irreversible damage to vision when they are discovered. This examination provides different vision tests that can assist in the early detection of any underlying eye disease so that the most appropriate treatment plan can be established for the patient.
*Suitable for the initial checking of cataract, glaucoma, macular degeneration, etc.
*Report interpretation & conclusive advice by ophthalmologist
*If you are diagnosed with the above diseases, you may need to undergo further eye examinations and pay additional charges, all subject to the final charges.
| Characteristics | A cataract is the most common type of age-related degeneration of the lens of the eye. As you age, a cataract is when the lenses in your eyes become cloudy and your vision gradually gets blurry. |
| Symptoms | - Clouded or Blurred vision - Sensitivity to light, glare and have double vision - Dim and distorted vision - Decreased night vision |
| high-risk individuals |
- Excessive sunlight exposure - Smoking - High myopia (600 Degrees or more) - Diabetes - Use of certain medications eg. Steroids |
Surgery is the only cure for cataracts. At present, the technology of cataract is mature, the wound is small and the recovery is fast. During cataract surgery, the doctor removes the cloudy lens from the patient and inserts an intraocular lens. There are different options for intraocular lenses, including:
| Monofocal Lens | Multifocal Lens | Multifocal Lens (Extended depth of focus (EDOFs)) |
|
| Characteristics | a fixed single focus | see well at far and near focusing points |
have an elongated focus and a deeper depth of vision |
| Vision | Can provide far, medium and near vision clarity, after surgery or need to wear glasses. If you want to reduce your dependence on glasses after a single focal length artificial chip, you can use Monovision therapy, which uses the chip to adjust one eye to see near and the other to see far things. The brain needs time to adapt after surgery. Your doctor will assess suitability before surgery. |
There are different focal length on the lens to focus light at different distances on the retina. The advantage is that patients can see far and near images without wearing glasses. |
The lenses have an elongated focus and a deeper depth of vision than conventional monofocal lenses. It achieves satisfactory far and intermediate visions, but the near vision is weaker than multifocal lenses. |
| Availability of Toric Lens |
Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Notice | Inability to focus both near and far vision |
The brain needs time to adapt to the new way of seeing images after surgery. There is a chance of halo and glare after surgery, and the clarity of the dark environment will be poor. |
Not as sharp as multifocal lens |

| Glaucoma | Macular Degeneration |
|
| Characteristics | Glaucoma are eye conditions associated with damage of the optic nerve (which connects the eye to the brain) and the nerve fibres from the retina (the light-sensitive nerve tissue that lines the back of the eye). Glaucoma often affects both eyes, usually to varying degrees. If left untreated, glaucoma will cause progressive loss of outer field of vision (peripheral vision), then developed tunnel vision, and resulted in permanent total blindness. - Chronic Glaucoma Chronic glaucoma often has no symptom in its early stage. In the advanced stage, patient may only see with central vision (i.e. tunnel vision) and have difficulty in seeing surrounding objects. It can result in total blindness if the disease further deteriorates. - Acute Glaucoma Acute Glaucoma is characterized by a very rapid rise in eye pressure (intraocular pressure). |
The macula is the central portion of the retina where 90% of photoreceptors locate in this area. It is responsible for central vision of the eye, the ability to see fine details and to recognize colours, so it is important to keep your macula healthy in order to see clearly. |
| Symptoms | Chronic glaucoma usually has no obvious symptoms - Eye Pain - Eyes redness - Blurred vision - Headache - Nausea & vomiting - Peripheral vision loss |
-Center vision blurred - Distorted vision - Center vision appears with black dots - Size change (e.g. in small characters), bent lines, decreased intensity or brightness of colors |
| High-risk individuals |
- Over 40 years old - Being high nearsightedness (myopia)/ farsightedness (hypermetropia) - Having diabetes - Suffering from hypertension - Suffering from cardiovascular disease - Having a history of eye injury - Long-term use of steroids |
- Over 50 years old - Smoking - Excessive sun exposure - Genetic factors |
