EYE ANALYSIS AND OPTOMETRIC EXAMINATIONS

While the importance of preventive ophthalmic check-ups is taken for granted, even in the absence of obvious symptoms, not everyone knows that optometry, through visual analysis, is able to detect warning signs of myopic tendency at an early stage and consequently intervene in a timely manner.

Consider, for example, a short-sighted teenager for whom it may be easy to find the apparently most appropriate optical correction, without however taking into account the fundamental aspects related to the prevention of myopia progression. Or a young presbyopic person struggling with their first progressive lens glasses; should they find no satisfaction with the glasses, they might blame the progressive lens in general, when in fact the problem lies in the examination carried out or in the centring of the glasses, as is very often the case. The mission of Choosy Ottica is to follow each client professionally and with care for their visual health.

WHY HAVE AN EYE EXAMINATION

An eye examination is a fundamental element in choosing the most appropriate optical correction and requires specific and thorough tests. It is indeed an essential stage in which all aspects of vision must be examined, considering that glasses or contact lenses, in order to fulfil their function, must be based on an accurate refractive analysis.

WHY PEOPLE OFTEN COMPLAIN ABOUT THEIR GLASSES

Very often, dissatisfaction related to wearing glasses is due to imprecise optometric examinations, resulting in stress, discomfort and unnecessary financial loss. To avoid this, our highly specialised optometrists require at least 25 minutes for each examination, during which all available refractive techniques will be employed, from the most classic to the most recent.

In our store you will be guaranteed to be assisted by the same person who will guide you through every stage of choosing your glasses, so that, should any issues arise, a solution will be found with the utmost promptness. All with a single purpose: your visual health.

CONTACT LENSES

Today, contact lenses are accessible to everyone, but it is essential to carry out certain tests to identify the most suitable type, and to follow a programme with the contact lens specialist to learn the rules for correct application and maintenance.
The choice of lens type should be made by an optometrist specialised in contact lenses, who assesses the ocular characteristics and selects suitable materials, classified according to their different water content, chemical and physical properties.

The process for the correct fitting of the first contact lens involves a series of tests, which are essential, as they allow the contact lens specialist to suggest the most suitable, most comfortable material capable of best maintaining correct ocular metabolism over time.
There is no single best lens, but each material has properties that may be suitable for some eyes and unsuitable for others.

The contact lens specialist, having identified the correct contact lens, proceeds to teach the correct method of insertion and removal of the device, to clarify all maintenance rules and to illustrate the precautions for use.
Soft contact lenses today are able to correct all visual defects: myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia.
