Diseases An Eye Exam Can Detect
A routine eye examination by our Markham eye doctor will help diagnose, treat, and prevent eye diseases and disorders affecting the visual system, the eye, and related optical structures. Eye exams can also be the first order of early disease detection, often playing an essential role in identifying general health conditions.
At Unionville Optometry we are focused on preserving your vision, the health of your eyes, and your overall general health. Our Markham optometrists will communicate pertinent information to your family doctor when necessary, and arrange prompt referrals to specialists if and when required.
Unionville Optometry's eye doctors can provide pre-operative and post-operative eye care and co-management for:
- Refractive surgery (LASIK, PRK)
- Corneal Crosslinking (for Keratoconic patients)
- And Cataract Surgery
What Is Involved In An Eye Exam
When we conduct a comprehensive eye exam, we begin with a thorough case history, and a review of your personal medical and eye health history.
Your optometrist will then conduct an external and internal assessment of your eyes.
Preliminary eye tests include measuring:
Vision
Pupils
Eye Pressure
Color Vision
Eye Muscles
Peripheral Vision
Eye Movement
Depth Perception (3D Vision)
We will also measure how well your eyes can focus and work together. Ask us about an eye exam for prescription glasses.

External Eye Examination
We evaluate the health of structures of the front of the eye (eyelids, lashes, glands, tears, cornea, conjunctiva, iris) using a special microscope called a slit lamp. An external eye examination can also detect dry eye disease, ocular allergy, and bacterial/ viral infections.
In a contact lens wearer, external eye exams are used to ensure proper fitting of contact lenses and to detect possible changes to the front of the eye that may result from contact lens wear.
Internal Eye Examination
Our Markham optometrists will also perform a thorough examination of the structures inside the eye that include the lens, the vitreous, optic nerve, macula, retina, arteries, and veins.
This internal eye exam can detect abnormalities, diseases, or disorders that affect the structures inside the eye such as:
Cataracts
Glaucoma
Vitreous Detachments
Macular Degeneration
Retinal Dystrophies & Disorders
Retinal Detachments
There are also a number of systemic health diseases that are often diagnosed by findings of the internal eye exam.
Eye Exams Vs Vision Test
Many serious eye conditions don’t have obvious symptoms. In fact, some eye diseases only show symptoms when the condition is advanced, making it difficult, and sometimes impossible, to treat.
Sight Test – A sight test (vision or eye test) uses automated equipment and can only determine a lens power by relying on computerized assessments. These automated sight tests are not comprehensive or accurate, and do nothing to determine the health of your eyes or if there are any other inherent health issues.
Eye Exam – A comprehensive exam provides a full assessment of your vision and eye health that is simply not possible by a store sight test or a school vision screening.

Whether you need a simple contact lenses eye examination or an Optomap retinal exam, Unionville Optometry is fully equipped with the latest in-office visual examination equipment. We can provide you with the most comprehensive assessment and eye exam results.
