My Optometrist does all of these exams in addition to what she can see with her loupe and blinding light. They are kept for comparisons when I come in for my exam every two years.
My opthalmologist does this. I never received previously that from an optometrist, just a glaucoma & eye test, nothing to check for any possible disease(s).
