Eye Test & Eye Examination in Puchong

Our eye examinations & screenings

Binocular Vision Assessment

Binocular vision assessment evaluates how well your two eyes work together. This comprehensive test checks eye alignment, coordination, depth perception (stereopsis), colour vision, and focusing abilities. It's crucial for detecting conditions like lazy eye (amblyopia), eye misalignment (strabismus), colour vision deficiency, and focusing problems that may not be apparent in standard eye exams — making it especially valuable for children.

What's assessed

• Ocular motility (how the eyes move and track)
• Eye alignment
• Fusion (how the brain combines input from both eyes)
• Stereopsis (3D/depth vision)
• Colour vision
• Cover test for eye misalignment

How it works

The assessment takes about 20–30 minutes and is completely painless and non-invasive, suitable from around age 5. It combines several short tests — ocular motility, alignment, fusion, stereopsis, colour vision, and a cover test — to build a picture of how your two eyes coordinate together, not just how each eye sees on its own.

Benefits & why it matters

• Early detection of eye coordination disorders
• Improved depth perception once issues are identified and managed
• Better overall eye coordination
• Can support sports performance where depth judgement matters

Relevant for anyone with double vision, an eye turn, difficulty judging depth, poor sports performance, or frequent squinting — and especially useful for children, since coordination problems aren't always obvious in a standard vision check.

Frequently asked questions

Cataract Screening

Cataract screening uses advanced slit-lamp technology to examine the lens of your eye in detail. We look for any cloudiness or opacity that may indicate cataract formation. Early detection is crucial, as cataracts can progressively impair vision if left untreated. Our thorough screening helps determine if intervention is needed.

What's assessed

• Lens clarity, via slit-lamp examination
• Grading of any opacity found
• Photographic documentation for tracking over time

How it works

A cataract screening takes around 10–15 minutes and is generally recommended from age 40 onward, or sooner if you have relevant symptoms. Your optometrist examines the lens with a slit lamp, grades any cloudiness found, documents it photographically, and evaluates your overall risk.

Benefits & why it matters

• Early cataract detection
• Helps preserve vision by catching changes before they significantly affect daily life
• Supports surgical planning if and when it becomes necessary
• Enables tracking of how the condition develops over time

Worth considering if you notice blurry or cloudy vision, difficulty seeing at night, glare sensitivity, faded colours, or double vision in one eye — or simply as part of a routine check from age 40.

Frequently asked questions

Retina Disease Screening

The retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. Diseases affecting the retina can lead to serious vision loss. Our comprehensive screening examines the retina and optic nerve for signs of diabetic damage, age-related macular degeneration, retinal tears, and other conditions. Early detection is vital for preserving vision.

What's assessed

• Fundus camera imaging of the retina
• Amsler grid check
• Retinal and blood vessel assessment
• Detailed documentation for future comparison

How it works

Screening takes about 10–15 minutes and is suitable for all ages. We use a fundus camera to image your retina, so no dilation is needed — meaning no blurry vision afterward, and you can drive home straight away.

Benefits & why it matters

• Early detection of retinal disease
• Supports diabetes management by tracking retinal blood vessel changes
• Helps preserve vision through timely follow-up
• Informs treatment planning where a condition is identified

Relevant if you notice floaters or flashes, blurred vision, dark spots, distorted lines, or vision loss — and especially important if you have diabetes, since diabetic retinopathy is damage to the retina's blood vessels caused by high blood sugar.

Frequently asked questions

Special Lens Consultation

Beyond standard lenses, modern optical technology offers many specialised options. Our consultation helps you choose the right lens technology for your lifestyle, budget, and visual needs — from progressive lenses for presbyopia to photochromic lenses that adapt to light, anti-glare coatings, blue-light-blocking lenses, and high-index lenses for stronger prescriptions.

What's assessed

• Your lifestyle and how you use your eyes day to day (screens, driving, reading, outdoors)
• Your specific visual needs and current prescription
• Which lens technologies suit your budget and preferences

How it works

A consultation takes around 30–40 minutes and suits any age. Your optometrist reviews your lifestyle and visual needs, explains the relevant lens options, lets you trial or see a demonstration where useful, and helps you make a final selection.

Benefits & why it matters

• Vision optimised for your specific activities
• Additional eye protection (e.g. UV or blue-light filtering)
• Enhanced day-to-day comfort
• A better overall visual experience versus standard single-vision lenses

Worth considering if you have presbyopia, notice digital eye strain, are sensitive to glare, or spend a lot of time in bright sun.

Eye Power Examination: how it works & who benefits

Eye power examination is a focused refraction test that measures the refractive error of your eyes. Using advanced equipment, our optometrists determine whether you are myopic (short-sighted), hyperopic (long-sighted), or have astigmatism. This is the quick power test for an updated prescription (20–30 minutes) — for a full eye-health check, book our comprehensive eye exam above.

Process

• Visual acuity test
• Refraction assessment
• Trial frame fitting
• Lens power verification
• Final prescription confirmation

Benefits

• Accurate glasses/lens prescription
• Improved visual clarity
• Reduced eye strain
• Better daily functioning

Frequently asked questions

What is a comprehensive eye examination?

An eye power examination and a comprehensive eye examination are not the same thing. A power/prescription check focuses on one question — what lens power do you need? A comprehensive eye examination asks a broader question: how healthy are your eyes overall, and is anything affecting your vision besides your prescription?

Checking spectacle power alone can tell you whether your glasses need updating, but it does not, on its own, assess the health of the front or back of the eye, eye pressure, or how well your two eyes work together. Those areas are only reviewed as part of a broader examination — which is why an optometrist may recommend a comprehensive examination rather than a quick power check, particularly for first-time patients, patients over 40, or anyone with risk factors or symptoms beyond blurred vision.

Eye power examination vs. comprehensive eye examination

Not every test is performed on every visit — your optometrist decides which parts of the examination are appropriate based on your age, history, symptoms and risk factors.

What happens during a comprehensive eye examination at EyeDeal

1. A conversation first. Your optometrist asks about your vision, any symptoms, your general health, and your family's eye health history.
2. Vision and refraction. Your visual acuity is checked and your prescription is measured or verified, the same as in a power test.
3. Eye alignment and coordination, where relevant. How your two eyes work together may be reviewed, particularly if you mention headaches, eye strain, or difficulty reading — this overlaps with our Binocular Vision Assessment.
4. Front-of-eye health check. The surface, lids and lens of the eye are examined for signs of irritation or clouding.
5. Eye pressure and optic nerve, where indicated. This glaucoma risk assessment is particularly relevant from age 40 or with a family history of glaucoma.
6. Back-of-eye check, where indicated. The retina may be examined for signs affecting long-term eye health, especially if you have diabetes, high blood pressure, or notice floaters or flashes.
7. Discussion and next steps. Your optometrist explains what was found and what, if anything, is recommended next.

When is a comprehensive eye examination appropriate?

• You have never had a full eye examination, or it has been more than a year or two
• You are over 40, when age-related risks such as glaucoma become more relevant
• You have a family history of glaucoma, cataracts, or other eye disease
• You have symptoms beyond blurred vision — headaches, eye strain, floaters, or glare sensitivity
• You have diabetes, high blood pressure, or another condition that can affect eye health

If you simply need an updated prescription and have no other concerns, our Eye Power Examination (see above) covers that on its own. If you're unsure which is right for you, our optometrists can advise during booking.
