Retinal mapping, corneal topography, corneal pachymetry, computerized perimetry, echobiometry, ocular ultrasound, orthoptic test, daily tension curve, contact lens test, specular microscopy, gonioscopy, posterior capsulotomy with YAG laser, iridotomy with YAG laser, fluorescein angiography, retinography, argon laser photocoagulation, macular acuity potential and optical coherence tomography are some of the tests offered.
The technique in Optometry Jessica Santos talked about the consultations in that first month: “We have patients aged 70, 80 who have never had eye exams before. Sometimes, we can even anticipate the appointment and this avoids having to wait in line. As for the exams: if it is a refraction for use of glasses, the results come out immediately and for diagnoses of cataracts, glaucoma or some other pathology, the deadline is up to three days. This is all a huge step forward for the city’s population.”
The application driver Carlos Alberto da Costa, aged 70, revealed that he is very proud of the project, as he has already run races to take patients who sought ophthalmology in another municipality: “This was a great initiative, we really needed this in São João de Meriti. I’m leaving here very satisfied, because a lot of people consulted in other municipalities. It’s great to now have this quality of service and professionalism here. I will recommend it to the people I know,” he said.
