Eye Examinations and Assessments in Grand Cayman

Whether you have noticed a change in your vision, have an eye condition that needs monitoring, or have been referred for a specialist opinion, an assessment with Dr Samadi is a chance to understand what is happening and what can be done. Dr Samadi is an ophthalmologist, a medical doctor who specialises in the diagnosis, treatment and surgery of eye conditions.

When to book an eye assessment

You may wish to book an assessment if you have:

• blurred, cloudy or changing vision

• new floaters, flashes of light or distortion of straight lines

• a red, sore or uncomfortable eye that is not settling

• diabetes, or a family history of glaucoma or macular degeneration

• an existing eye condition that needs regular review

What the examination involves

Dr Samadi will ask about your eyesight, your general health and any medicines you take. Your eyes will then be examined in detail. Depending on your needs, this may include:

• checking your vision and the pressure inside your eyes

• examining the front and back of the eye with a specialist microscope

• scans such as OCT, which give a detailed picture of the retina and optic nerve

• a visual field test to check your side vision

The examination is painless.

After your assessment

Before you leave, Dr Samadi will explain what he has found in plain language and talk you through any treatment or follow-up that may help. Family members are welcome to come with you, and you can ask as many questions as you need.

Dr Samadi sees patients at Dr. Foley's Eye Clinic in George Town and accepts CINICO and all major insurers.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a referral to see Dr Samadi?

No, you can book directly through our online contact form. Optometrists and doctors can also refer patients using the referral form.

How is an ophthalmologist different from an optometrist?

An optometrist tests your sight and checks eye health. An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who specialises in eye disease and eye surgery, so they can diagnose and treat a wider range of eye conditions.

What should I bring?

Your insurance card, a list of your medicines (including eye drops), and your current glasses or contact lenses.
