Eye Power & Eye Pressure Measurement by Dr. Farhana Ferdaus Labonnyo

👁️ Why Are Eye Power & Eye Pressure Measurements Important?

Routine eye examinations often include:

• Eye Power (Refraction Test): Determines whether you need glasses or a change in your current prescription.

• Eye Pressure (Intraocular Pressure – IOP) Test: Essential for early detection of Glaucoma, a serious eye condition that can lead to permanent vision loss if untreated.

🧪 1. Eye Power Measurement (Refraction Test)

This test is done to detect refractive errors like:

• Myopia (nearsightedness)

• Hyperopia (farsightedness)

• Astigmatism

• Presbyopia (age-related reading difficulty)

🔬 Procedure:

1. Auto-Refractometer Scan – A machine quickly measures your eye’s focusing ability.

2. Manual Refraction (Retinoscopy & Trial Lens Test) – Fine-tuning using a phoropter or trial frame.

3. Prescription Finalization – Based on patient’s clarity and comfort.

🕒 Time Required:

~10–15 minutes

🩺 2. Eye Pressure Measurement (Tonometry)

This test checks for intraocular pressure (IOP) — vital for diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma and other optic nerve disorders.

🔍 Types of Tonometry Used:

• Non-Contact Tonometry (Air Puff Test): Quick, no-touch method to screen pressure.

• Applanation Tonometry (Gold Standard): Accurate measurement using a special blue light and fluorescein dye (used in confirmed or suspected glaucoma cases).

🕒 Time Required:

~5–10 minutes
