Adult Primary Eye Care Services
An exam at The Eye Institute (TEI) of Salus at Drexel University is unlike a trip to a private eye care practice. TEI’s optometrists perform a wide variety of tests to assess the overall health of patients’ eyes in addition to assessing their vision, using some of the latest technology available. Our focus is to provide our patients with the highest-quality service and ensure all of their vision issues are addressed properly.
In a comprehensive eye exam, the optometrist will:
- Dilate the patient’s eyes
- Measure eye pressure
- Observe the eye’s health for signs of disease such as: cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration
- Evaluate visual acuity (how far away and close up one can see)
- Prescribe eyeglass or contact lenses if necessary
- Vision therapy
