What separates a thorough eye examination from a rushed one comes down to equipment, training, and patience. A properly registered optometrist uses digital refraction technology, digital X-ray imaging, and tonometry to measure intraocular pressure — not guesswork. They ask detailed questions about your work environment, family eye history, and any symptoms you've dismissed as normal. They don't oversell unnecessary add-ons, but they also don't skip important tests like assessing your visual fields or checking the health of your optic nerve. In George, where many people drive long distances and spend time in bright outdoor conditions, an optometrist who screens for conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration is doing preventative work that matters.
