Eye Examination

We are committed to helping you protect your sight for a lifetime. Regular comprehensive eye exams are the foundation of your long-term eye health. They ensure any issues are detected and dealt with early, optimising your chance of preserving your vision and eye health.

A comprehensive eye exam goes far beyond just checking your vision for glasses or contact lens prescriptions. We’ll also check for eye diseases and other potential vision issues before symptoms appear and they become harder to treat.

How often to get an eye exam

Generally, we recommend comprehensive eye exams annually for most adults and children, although this depends on risk factors, such as a family history of certain conditions, age, or other health conditions. If you have conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of eye disease, more frequent exams may be necessary.

Children can have their first comprehensive screening from the age of 2. This is essential for checking that their vision is developing properly and giving them the help they may need in the classroom or on the playground. Our eye exams for children assess visual acuity and eye health. Detecting issues such as squints or lazy eyes (amblyopia) enables us to deal with them promptly so that they don’t leave a lasting effect on your child’s life.
