Z01.0: Examination of eyes and vision
Different techniques are used to examine different areas of the eyes. On the one hand, the eyes are observed from the outside. On the other hand, lights and magnifiers are used to look inside.
An eye test might also form part of the eye examination. For this purpose, charts are used that have letters which need to be recognized. An eye test sometimes also tests your color vision or the size of your field of vision.
