Specialist examination is recommended if eye or vision disorders or simple visual deficits are experienced for a quick and accurate diagnosis and treatment.

And in particular it is necessary:

• In pre-school children for early detection of visual defects and prevention of amblyopia (so-called lazy eye)
• In adults who perform work with a particular visual task (e.g., video screeners)
• In those with a family history of glaucoma, maculopathy, and keratoconus.
• In the elderly for early detection of cataracts, glaucoma and maculopathy

The most commonly detected pathologies in ophthalmology are:

• Cataracts
• Glaucoma
• Refractive defects (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism)
• Pathologies of the cornea
• Maculopathies, diabetic and hypertensive retinopathy
• Retinal alterations and vitreo-retinal pathologies
• Eye surface disorders and dry eye
• Pathologies of the eyelids and lacrimal apparatus

• Specialist examination with eye examination, anterior segment examination of the eye, tonometry and fundus examination
• OCT (optical coherence tomography) for studying the macula and optic nerves.
• Corneal pachymetry
• Tear function testing
