A comprehensive check of your overall eye health, including screening for glaucoma and other silent eye conditions.
Routine eye health tests assess the overall condition of your eyes, looking beyond just your prescription to check for conditions that can develop without noticeable symptoms.
Glaucoma screening is a key part of this, checking eye pressure and the appearance of the optic nerve, since glaucoma can cause irreversible vision loss if left undetected.
At Apollo Clinic Shyamnagar, routine eye health and glaucoma tests are typically combined with tonometry and other exams for a complete picture in one visit.
