Optometric examination: a specialist examination to safeguard eye health

The specialist visit consists of checking the balance of binocular vision, or what the two eyes see separately and simultaneously, so that you can have the right perception of distance and depth.

The specialist visit consists in checking the balance of binocular vision, or what the two eyes see separately and simultaneously, so that you can have the right perception of distance and depth. At the specialized Optic Lucciola center, you will be able to carry out an accurate vision analysis with Doctor Bruno Lucciola.

Vision analysis consists of examining the visual field, or measuring the vision of the space surrounding the eye. In the event that a vision disorder is present, prevention and correction methods aimed at regression or at least stabilization of myopia are evaluated by intervening with effective methods.

Thanks to the optometric visit, the specialized optometrist can accurately establish the prescription for your prescription lenses. We often tend to underestimate that an inaccurate visit can lead to the purchase of eyeglasses that are not suitable for solving the visual problem. For this it is recommended to contact a specialist in the sector.

Specifically, during the optometric examination carried out by Doctor Bruno Lucciola, an eye exam will be carried out through a complete assessment of all the visual skills that each individual uses on a daily basis, even in stressful situations. This test takes place by placing the person examined at a predetermined distance from a table on which signs and letters are shown in order of magnitude..

During the visit, the optometrist evaluates the use of the stereoscopic sense, by which the degree of cooperation between the two eyes is measured and also carries out the examination of the chromatic sense. The latter consists in highlighting defects in the perception of colors to test their presence.

Finally, Doctor Bruno Lucciola will check binocular balance and ocular motility to analyze eye movements and the health of the nerves that affect them.

Not only vision measurement but also prevention of all vision disorders

Among the tests carried out by the optometrist Lucciola, there are those concerning keratoconus to intervene on patients with this disease, which involves a distorted view of the images. In this regard, the innovative field of advanced contactology applications comes in handy. The latter refers in particular to people suffering from keratoconus, or who have had to undergo corneal transplants, or to patients undergoing refractive surgery.

The visual disturbance that bears the name of keratoconus should not be underestimated: it involves the external and transparent ocular layer, which is located at the iris, creating a thinning due to a degenerative process of the collagen fibers. For this reason, the cornea loses its mechanical resistance and, due to the internal pressure of the eye, fatigue occurs. The consequences on vision concern astigmatism associated most often with myopia and, rarely, with hyperopia. In addition, the distorted vision of images can affect one or both eyes, to a greater or lesser extent.

Through a specialist visit, Dr. Bruno Lucciola may have the opportunity to make an accurate diagnosis in order to evaluate how to intervene.

The examination of children's visual disturbances

Our children are also prone to vision disorders. Prevention, implemented from their very young age, can help to evaluate the paths to be taken in order to intervene if the child presents difficulties in vision. We must not overlook the negative implication that learning disorders in children (such as dyslexia or dysgraphia) can manifest themselves through experiences of inadequacy, frustration and progressive disinvestment in the school experience.

The examination that the Optics Lucciola center carries out is based on a diagnostic evaluation of these disorders through the implementation of tests aimed at investigating not only basic instrumental skills (such as reading), but also the functioning of cognitive processes (general intelligence , memory, attention, language, visual-spatial skills). Let's see what are the learning disorders that can occur and how the optometrist's intervention can help parents in examining such dysfunctions:

• Dyslexia is a specific learning disability characterized by the child's difficulty in making an accurate and fluent reading. If the child, at the beginning of his school career, shows difficulty in recognizing the letters of the alphabet, it would be advisable to intervene with a specialist visit to encourage reading activities in daily life.
• Dysorthography, on the other hand, is one of the specific learning disorders that concerns the constructive component of writing, therefore linked to linguistic aspects and consists in the difficulty of writing correctly from an orthographic point of view. This disturbance manifests itself in the difficulty of converting the sound received into the written word.
• Finally, dysgraphia concerns the executive component or the ways in which the child writes. In this case the child may have a bad grip of the pen or pencil, little ability to use space in the sheet, difficulty in producing geometric shapes and copying images.

Thanks to the experience of Doctor Bruno Lucciola you will be able to carry out a specialist visit and evaluate the path to take in order to avoid psychological discomfort during your child's years of education and school growth.
