Medical Eye Exams in Houston, TX - Trusted Diagnostic Eye Care at TSO Champions

What Is a Medical Eye Exam?

A medical eye exam focuses on diagnosing and managing eye-related health conditions — not just checking your vision. It’s essential for patients with chronic conditions, new symptoms or a family history of eye disease.

Your Medical Eye Test May Include:

• Dilated retinal exam to detect disease in the retina and optic nerve
• Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) for detailed retinal imaging
• Intraocular pressure test (for glaucoma screening)
• Diabetic retinopathy screening
• Macular degeneration evaluation
• Visual field testing for peripheral vision loss
• Treatment planning and follow-up care

When Should You Schedule a Medical Eye Appointment?

You may need a medical eye appointment if:

• You have diabetes, hypertension or autoimmune disease
• You’re experiencing symptoms like sudden vision loss, eye pain, floaters or flashes of light
• You have a family history of glaucoma or macular degeneration
• You've had eye surgery or trauma
• You're managing chronic dry eye, allergies or recurring infections
• You're taking medications that may affect vision (e.g., Plaquenil, steroids)

Tip: A routine eye exam becomes a medical eye exam when the reason for your visit is medical in nature — not just getting a glasses prescription.
