Optometric visits Vicenza and Torri di Quartesolo

OPTOMETRIC VISITS

“Seeing is a means to know, to enrich our thinking” , Plinio il Vecchio

While the importance of preventive eye doctor visits appears obvious, even in the absence of obvious symptoms, not everyone knows that optometry, through visual analysis, is able to detect early warning signs of myopic tendency and consequently, intervene early. Just think, for example, of a myopic adolescent for whom the apparently more correct optical compensation can easily be found, without however considering the fundamental aspects related to the prevention of myopic progression. Or a young presbyopic, struggling with the first progressive eyewear, in the event that he does not find satisfaction with the glasses could put the blame on the progressive lens in general, when instead the problem is in the visit that was made or in the centering of glasses, as often happens. For more than thirty years, the mission of Stecca Optometry has been to follow the client professionally and taking care of their visual health.

Why do an eye exam?

The eye exam is a fundamental element in choosing the most appropriate optical correction and requires specific and in-depth tests. It is in fact an essential phase in which all aspects relating to vision must be examined, considering that a pair of glasses or a contact lens, to perform its function, must be based on an accurate refractive analysis.

Why do people often complain about their eyeglasses?

Very often the dissatisfactions related to the use of glasses are due to an imprecise eye exam resulting in stress, discomfort and useless economic loss. To avoid this, our highly specialized optometrists require at least 25 minutes of visit in which all the refractive techniques available will be adopted, from the classic ones to the most recent. In all our stores you will have the guarantee of being helped by the same person who will guide you in every phase of the choice of eyewear so that, in cases where there are problems, a solution will be found as quickly as possibble. All with a single purpose, your visual health.

HOW IS OUR VISIT PERFORMED

The hierarchies of our visit are established following the classic problem-oriented approach of the American optometric academy, in which the symptoms complained of by the patient and the related problems to be solved guide the professional in the most appropriate tests to be performed. The exam structure is organized as follows:

Subjective Exam

This concerns the medical history — the reconstruction of the case from a clinical perspective. For a successful consultation, it is essential that the patient reports everything related to their ocular health history and any visual symptoms. An effective subjective exam also requires the active cooperation of the patient during the visit.

Objective Exam
This is the phase involving tests and examinations using the most appropriate tools. It consists of collecting the data necessary for an accurate optometric evaluation.

Problem Identification
This stage involves analyzing the subjective and objective information to determine the most suitable therapy. It is generally divided into three sub-categories: refractive errors, binocular vision issues, and eye health screening.

Action Plan
This is the final phase, in which the optometrist chooses the treatment or program to be carried out with the patient.

This method, known as S.O.A.P. (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan), is a clinical approach considered highly reliable and is followed during every visit, tailored to the patient's needs.

Stecca Optometria has three optometric studios across two stores, all fully equipped with the latest technology in the optical field. The instruments include: a corneal topographer, slit lamp, air-puff tonometer, autorefractor, and a 3D digital display for assessing visual acuity.
