Special Diagnostic Testing as Requested by Referring Physicians

Home \ Eyecare Services \ Medical Services \ Special Diagnostic Testing as Requested by Referring Physicians

We routinely get requests from physicians for a wide variety of special tests or to follow the progress of a condition or a side effect of a treatment. Some of the more common requests are:

  • dry eye or ocular migraines related to the use of birth control or hormone replacement therapy
  • retinal changes and potential vision loss related to many of the drugs used for the prevention of a relapse of cancer
  • changes to the retina associated with long standing high blood pressure or diabetes
  • changes to the eye and how it works related to hyper- or hypo-thyroidism
  • visual field loss associated with brain tumors, cancer, multiple sclerosis, etc.
The extent of the possible requests and the reasons for them goes beyond the scope of this website.
Have your physician give us a call at 415-453-8906 and we will be happy to provide whatever they require.
