What Happens During an Eye Test?
During your eye examination, our optometrists will assess your visual acuity, prescription, focusing ability, eye coordination, and overall eye health. We take the time to discuss any symptoms you may be experiencing, including blurred vision, headaches, eye strain, difficulties with driving, or problems using digital devices.
Where appropriate, we may recommend additional diagnostic testing to gain a more detailed understanding of your eye health. This includes advanced OCT imaging, which can provide valuable insight into the health of the retina and optic nerve. While OCT scans are available as part of our comprehensive eye care services, our team will advise when this additional assessment may be beneficial.
Why Regular Eye Examinations Matter
Many eye conditions develop gradually and often show few or no symptoms in their early stages. Regular eye examinations allow us to monitor changes over time and identify potential concerns before they begin to affect your vision.
Routine eye tests can help detect signs of:
- Glaucoma
- Cataracts
- Macular degeneration
- Diabetic eye disease
- Retinal abnormalities
- Dry eye disease
- Eye health changes associated with high blood pressure or diabetes
Early detection can play an important role in preserving vision and supporting effective treatment where required.
