Complete vision and eye-health assessment — from routine number checks to glaucoma screening and fitness certification — with qualified ophthalmologists and a full range of on-site eye tests.
The Eye (Ophthalmology) department at Apollo Clinic Shyamnagar evaluates vision and eye health for every age group, from a simple power check to conditions that need careful, ongoing monitoring such as glaucoma. Many serious eye conditions develop gradually with no early symptoms, which is why routine examination — not just testing when a problem is already noticed — is central to how we approach eye care.
Every visit starts with the basics — how well you see, and whether that can be corrected with glasses — before moving to a closer look at the structures of the eye itself: the front surface, the pressure inside the eye, and the retina at the back. Which tests are needed depends on your age, symptoms and risk factors, and your ophthalmologist will explain what each one is checking for.
Eye health is also connected to overall health — diabetes and high blood pressure are leading causes of eye damage, and certain neurological conditions show up first as a vision change. Being part of a multispeciality clinic means these links are not missed.
A complete range of vision and eye-health tests is available on-site:
| Test | What It Is Used For |
|---|---|
| Visual Acuity Test | Measures how clearly you can see at distance, usually the first step in any eye examination and the baseline for detecting vision problems |
| Refraction Test | Determines your exact eyeglass or contact lens prescription for near-sightedness, far-sightedness or astigmatism |
| Pinhole Test | A quick check to determine whether reduced vision can be corrected with glasses or whether it points to an underlying eye condition |
| Routine Eye Health & Glaucoma Tests | General screening of eye health with specific attention to glaucoma, a condition that can silently damage vision if not caught early |
| Slit-Lamp Examination | Magnified examination of the front structures of the eye — cornea, lens, eyelids — used to detect infection, injury, cataract and other surface conditions |
| Tonometry (Eye Pressure Test) | Measures the pressure inside the eye; raised pressure is a key risk factor for glaucoma and is checked as part of routine screening |
| Dilated Fundus Examination | Eye drops widen the pupil so the retina, optic nerve and blood vessels at the back of the eye can be examined directly — important in diabetes, hypertension and glaucoma monitoring |
| Colour Vision Test | Checks for colour blindness or colour-perception deficiencies, often required for certain jobs, driving licences and academic admissions |
| Ophthalmology Fitness | Vision and eye-health certification for employment, driving licences, sports and other fitness requirements |
The list below covers what we see most often. If your concern is not listed, it does not mean we cannot help — please call the clinic or book a consultation and our ophthalmologist will advise.

Complete Eye Assessment On-SiteFrom visual acuity to dilated fundus examination, the full range of vision and eye-health tests is available in one visit. | Early Detection FocusRoutine glaucoma and pressure screening are built into our approach, since conditions like glaucoma cause no early symptoms but permanent vision loss if missed. | |
Fitness & Certification SupportVision and eye-health certification for employment, driving and other requirements is handled at the same visit as your examination. | Multispeciality ReferralDirect coordination with general medicine for diabetes and blood pressure control, since both directly affect eye health, with onward referral into the Apollo network for advanced procedures. | |
Adults with no symptoms are generally advised to have a routine eye check every one to two years, and annually after age 40 or with risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure or a family history of glaucoma. Children and anyone with existing vision problems may need more frequent checks — your ophthalmologist can advise a schedule suited to you.
Eye drops are used to widen the pupil, allowing the doctor to examine the retina and optic nerve at the back of the eye. Your near vision will be blurred and your eyes more sensitive to light for a few hours afterward, so it helps to bring sunglasses and, if possible, arrange for someone else to drive you home.
Yes, particularly after age 40 or with a family history of glaucoma. Glaucoma typically causes no pain or noticeable vision change in its early stages, and vision lost to it cannot be recovered — which is exactly why routine pressure and eye-health screening, not waiting for symptoms, is how it is caught in time to protect your sight.
No. A refraction test only determines your glasses prescription — it does not check for glaucoma, cataract, retinal disease or other eye conditions. A full examination, which may include slit-lamp assessment, tonometry and a fundus check depending on your age and risk factors, gives a complete picture of eye health.
Diabetes can damage the small blood vessels in the retina over time, a condition called diabetic retinopathy, which often has no early symptoms. A dilated fundus examination is recommended at least once a year for anyone with diabetes, regardless of how your vision feels, so that any changes are caught and managed early.
