Dr. Mohamed Sharaara's clinic is a specialized ophthalmology clinic, offering a comprehensive range of eye examinations to diagnose and treat various eye diseases. These examinations include:
1. Basic Optometry Tests:
Visual Acuity Test: This test aims to determine the patient's visual acuity. It is performed using a Snellen chart or other devices to measure near and far visual acuity.
Refraction Measurement: This test determines the lens power needed to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Ocular Motility Test: This test evaluates eye movement and coordination and detects any problems with the muscles responsible for eye movement.
2. Advanced Tests to Diagnose Eye Diseases:
Slit Lamp Examination: This test uses a special microscope to examine the front and back parts of the eye, such as the cornea, lens, and retina.
Tonometry: This test measures the fluid pressure inside the eye and detects the risk of glaucoma.
Fundus Examination: This procedure examines the retina and optic nerve, detecting diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and optic nerve diseases.
Corneal Imaging: Specialized equipment is used to image the cornea and determine its shape and thickness, which helps diagnose keratoconus and other diseases.
OCT Eye Examination: Optical Coherence Tomography: This imaging test uses light waves to create high-resolution cross-sectional images of the retina and optic nerve. It is used to diagnose and monitor many retinal diseases and glaucoma.
3. Specialized Examinations:
Visual Field Examination: This examination determines the patient's peripheral vision and detects peripheral vision loss due to glaucoma or other diseases.
Pediatric Examinations: These include special tests to assess children's vision and detect strabismus and refractive errors at an early age.
Pre- and Post-Surgical Examinations: Comprehensive examinations are performed before and after eye surgeries such as cataract surgery and LASIK.
