Eye Consultation & Diagnosis
A thorough eye consultation is usually the first step toward understanding your vision and eye health. OSVI Healthcare helps you arrange the right examination — from a routine check-up to focused screenings — with a specialist suited to your needs.
Consultation & Examination Services
Each of the following examinations serves a different purpose. Our team can help you identify which is appropriate based on your age, symptoms and health history.
General Eye Check-up
A general eye check-up is a routine assessment of overall eye health and vision, typically recommended even in the absence of symptoms.
It usually involves a basic vision check, an external examination of the eyes, and a conversation about any concerns you may have. Regular check-ups can help catch changes early and are a sensible starting point for anyone who hasn’t had a recent examination.
Comprehensive Eye Examination
A comprehensive examination goes further than a basic check-up, evaluating vision, eye movement, eye pressure and the internal structures of the eye in more detail.
This is often recommended when a patient has specific symptoms, a family history of eye conditions, or hasn’t been examined in several years. Expect the visit to take longer than a routine check-up, as several tests may be involved.
Vision / Refraction Test
A refraction test measures how light focuses in the eye and determines whether corrective lenses are needed, and if so, what power.
It’s commonly performed when someone experiences blurred vision, eye strain, or difficulty reading, and is also a standard part of most comprehensive examinations. The test is quick and generally involves viewing an eye chart through a series of lenses.
Pediatric Eye Examination
Children’s eyes are assessed differently from adults’, since young children may not be able to describe vision problems themselves.
A pediatric eye examination looks at visual development, eye alignment and focusing ability. Early evaluation can be useful, since some childhood vision issues are more manageable when identified early. See our dedicated Pediatric Eye Care page for more detail.
Diabetic Eye Screening
People living with diabetes are generally advised to have their eyes examined periodically, as diabetes can affect the blood vessels of the retina over time.
A diabetic eye screening typically includes a dilated examination of the retina to look for early changes. Your physician may recommend a specific screening frequency based on your overall diabetes management.
Glaucoma Screening
Glaucoma screening evaluates eye pressure and the health of the optic nerve, since changes here are not always accompanied by noticeable symptoms in early stages.
This screening is often suggested for adults, particularly those with a family history of glaucoma. Learn more on our dedicated Glaucoma Care page.
Retinal Examination
A retinal examination allows a specialist to directly view the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye, often after the pupil has been dilated with drops.
It may be recommended for diabetic screening, sudden vision changes, or as part of a comprehensive examination. More detail is available on our Retina & Vitreous Care page.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get a routine eye check-up?
This depends on age, health history and any existing eye conditions. As a general habit, adults without symptoms are often advised to have their eyes checked periodically, while your specialist can suggest a personalised schedule.
Do I need a comprehensive examination or is a basic check-up enough?
It depends on your symptoms and history. A specialist can advise which is appropriate during your consultation — OSVI can help you get connected with one.
Can eye examinations be arranged at home?
Certain consultations and follow-up assessments can be supported at home, while examinations requiring specialised equipment are typically conducted at a partner facility. Our team can guide you on what’s appropriate for your situation.
At what age should a child have their first eye examination?
Many specialists recommend an initial evaluation in early childhood, with further check-ups as advised. Please consult a pediatric eye specialist for guidance specific to your child.
