[edit]
I was looking for a page to coordinate eye defects, as there was no easy way to navigate these, and chose this one, which I have now nominated as a Root page. Associated pages should ensure that they put a link to this page at the top of their 'See also'list. --Lindosland 14:23, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
?This article has specific eye examination recommendations - "should" used a lot. Is that appropriate for an Encyclopaedia or better kept to text book/teaching course. Perhaps re-phrase is better?

merge with vision test
[edit]I think this should be merged with vision test.--76.93.42.50 (talk) 02:55, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- Vision test now is about only the Snellen chart. That test is just one of many tests that could be performed during an eye examination. I suggest the articles be kept separate. Robert P. O'Shea (talk) 19:23, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
- These articles should probably be split again. Nowadays, eye examination are about more than just testing the vision. Many retinopathies are related to diabetes, blood pressure, etc. There are even research projects studying the shape of retinal vessels to predict disease risks without relation to vision (peripheral artery disease, cardiovascular risk, dementia, etc.) A vision test is only one type of eye examination NicGambarde (talk) 11:48, 2 November 2022 (UTC)
artificial eyes
[edit]A rare requirement, but necessary to have one fitted to get the best results asthetically.

Article lacks information on astigmatism
[edit]It would be good if someone could add details of how astigmatism is tested for, and whether it is best to include correction for low value astigmatism in a prescription or not. --Lindosland (talk) 10:59, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

- As part of the WikiMed Fall 2024 course, I will provide peer review that includes the author's proposed sandbox changes. I will only comment on sections that I have direct feedback on.
- Overall Thoughts
- The sections of the article are well organized and the content of the article is informative and remains neutral. I thought the photos used in the article were appropriate and informative. The article is well thought through, appropriately detailed, and educational. The language used throughout the article is reader-friendly even to a non-medical audience. There are several statements throughout the article that could use citations but the current four sources that are currently cited seem to be reliable sources. It is clear the user has put a lot of thought and effort into making this article better.
- Lead
- The lead section is clear and easy to read. It is concise but provides sufficient detail and sets up a clear structure for the article.
- Medical History
- Common Chief Complaints: There are a few topics mentioned where links to other articles may be useful. For example, some of the chief complaints (blurry vision, double vision, and floaters) all have their own wikipedia pages that could be linked.
- Systematic Medical Conditions: I suggest that in the Systematic Medical Conditions section "Diabetic Mellitus" be edited to "Diabetes Mellitus". The name of this section could also be simplified to just 'Medical Conditions' if the author sees fit.
- 8-Point Eye Exam
- The user has done a wonderful job contributing this detailed account of the eye exam to this article. The contributions to this section are well organized, concise and appropriately detailed. Some of the formatting in this section should be adjusted so that subheading title sizes are consistent.
- Measuring Visual Acuity: The text "(need a lot of citations)" can be removed from the 'Measuring Visual Acuity' section and citations could be added as mentioned.
- Overall, wonderful job done so far by @Wendyxieyang. A few more edits will leave this page looking great. Smhm97 (talk) 03:18, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
