Vision Testing and Evaluation
Our expert optometrists conduct the following tests that may provide supporting evidence for your VicRoads Assessment:
OCT Scans (Optical Coherence Tomography) give a detailed view of the back of the eye, including the retina. They are useful for monitoring eye changes so that we can stay at the forefront of your eye health maintenance and ensure your vision is clear and consistent for driving.
Visual fields assessments measure peripheral vision, which is essential for drivers to monitor the presence of other vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, and potential hazards. Our visual fields assessment takes up to 30 minutes and is non-invasive.
Glaucoma can impact peripheral vision and the ability to distinguish objects from their background. Glaucoma assessments include OCT scans and visual fields testing to help determine the presence of Glaucoma and its impact on your vision for driving and general well-being.
A topography assessment checks the shape of your cornea for conditions such as Astigmatism, which can impact your driving ability by causing blurred vision, glare, reduced contrast sensitivity, and increased eye strain.
We also conduct diabetes assessments and dry eye testing, two further conditions that may impact your ability to drive safely and pass the VicRoads Medical Assessment.
