Home Determining the measurement of eyeglasses or contact lenses of various types using the most accurate devices

Dr. Mohamed Sharara's clinic offers specialized services in prescribing various types of eyeglasses and contact lenses, using the latest and most accurate medical equipment.

The Importance of Accurate Prescriptions:

Accurate prescriptions for eyeglasses and contact lenses are crucial to ensuring clear and comfortable vision.

Inaccurate prescriptions can lead to problems such as headaches, eye strain, and blurred vision.

How to Prescribe Eyeglasses:

1. Comprehensive Eye Examination:

Prescribing eyeglasses begins with a comprehensive eye examination, which aims to assess eye health and detect any problems or diseases that may affect vision.

This examination includes visual acuity assessment, fundus examination, intraocular pressure measurement, and corneal and lens examination.

2. Vision Measurement:

The optometrist at Dr. Mohamed Sharara's clinic uses specialized devices to measure vision and determine the type and degree of refraction in the eye.

These devices include an autorefractor and a manual phoropter.

The lens power required to correct vision is clearly determined.

3. Determining the Type of Lenses:

In addition to measuring vision power, the appropriate lens type for the patient's needs is determined, such as monofocal, bifocal, or progressive lenses.
The appropriate lens coatings are also determined, such as anti-reflective, scratch-resistant, or UV-protective coatings.
4. Eyeglass Prescription:

After completing the examination, the optician issues an eyeglass prescription containing all the information necessary to manufacture the appropriate glasses.
This information includes the lens power, lens type, coating type, and frame size.

Equipment Used in the Clinic:

The clinic uses the latest specialized equipment for vision measurement, including:
Automated refractometers: to determine the required lens power.
Keratometers: to determine the shape and size of the cornea, which is important for selecting suitable contact lenses.
Retinal scanning devices: to assess the health of the retina, which is important before fitting contact lenses.
Optical Computed Tomography (OCT) machine.
These devices ensure highly accurate measurements, helping to provide the best possible vision for the patient.

Staff:

The clinic's staff consists of highly trained specialist doctors and technicians, ensuring the best possible service to patients.
