Eye Examinations - Professional Eyecare
Our eye examination is carried out by fully qualified optometrists. There will be a number of tests in the 45 minute examination including pre-tests such as visual fields and retinal photographs. These tests will use the latest technology to give accurate results for both your prescription and health of your eyes.
These tests include looking for any muscle imbalance, retinal problems and any signs of glaucoma.

We also have digital retina photography which provides a permanent record and benchmark of the health of the back of the eye.
Such techniques are essential particularly if you have a personal or family history of conditions such as diabetes, vascular disease or hypertension and similarly in ocular conditions such as glaucoma and macular degeneration.
These two conditions are associated with the normal ageing process. Early detection improves the outcome. The sooner it is discovered the sooner any treatment can begin leading to a better result for the client. It can occur in children but is most common in the over forties.
Computer Visual Field Analysus
This procedure enables us as never before to very accurately and reproducibly measure the sensitivity of peripheral vision. This is important because disease may affect our peripheral vision first and we may easily miss the early warning signs.
Field analysis, in common with retinal photography, enables the detection of conditions of which otherwise we may have been unaware and hence allows for early referral for specialist care with a resultant better outcome.
For the best outcome, Lowes & Partners strongly advise clients to have regular eye examinations, including tonometry to measure the pressure in the eye, computerised screening of peripheral vision and photographs of the eye.
Glaucoma
Don't lose your visual field by neglecting to have regular eye exams. Vision lost to glaucoma cannot be restored.
Glaucoma is the main cause of preventable blindness in New Zealand. It is usually associated with raised pressure within the eye but can occur in eyes with normal pressure.
There are often no symptoms in the early stages although an acute attack can be very painful, with redness in the eye and loss of peripheral vision.
