Eye Disease Diagnosis
As you choose an eye doctor to diagnose a potential eye disease, we serve two locations in Pennsylvania. Along with an optometry office in Mount Pleasant, PA, our eye doctor, Clayton M. Anderson OD, has an office in North Charleroi, PA.
How to Diagnose Eye Disease
To begin any medical diagnosis of eye disease, our optometrist conducts a thorough eye disease test or eye exam. Patients may require multiple types of eye disease tests to provide a complete diagnosis.
Types of Eye Disease Tests
A common type of eye disease test is called a comprehensive eye exam. This type of vision test covers wide-field retinal imaging. However, additional types of eye disease tests focus on specific areas of the eye and vision. These include:
- Amsler grid test for vision clarity
- Optical coherence tomography using light waves
- Uveitis test using angiography and an IV
Your eye doctor, Clayton M. Anderson OD, will select the right tests based on your symptoms and eye conditions. These tests will allow Dr. Anderson to diagnose your eye conditions best. From there, the doctor will determine the right level of care for eye disease treatment.
