Dr. Williamson



Rhylan had her yearly eye exam today. Riley, oh I mean Dr Williamson, did a great job on the exam. Rhylan did very well and was extra cooperative. The Dr said she is seeing great and has healthy eyes... Here she is waiting so patiently.
Here is Rhylan using Riley's binocular indirect ophthalmascope to make sure his retina is intact and no peripheral holes or tears.
Now Daddy's turn.... You can't really see from this view but he is getting an upside down and reverse view of the inside back part of Rhylan's eye (aka neurosensory retina).


Rhylan checking her visual acuity through the phoropter.
What a good patient!
Now for the two drops of tropicamide.... to help daddy dilate Rhylan's eye so her pupil gets bigger... What a brave girl.... (which kind of stings).
Performing a gross anterior segment check because Rhylan is too petite to sit behind the Slit Lamp.
Check out Rhylan's near point convergence abilities.... to the nose....



Daddy filling out the electronic medical record on the computer.
Palpating the globes... checking for pressure.


What good peripheral vision you have...
Yep... great local and global stereopsis (ability to see in 3-D).




Thanks Rhylan for a great exam! And thanks Riley for all the photo commentary.
