Our optometry team provides a general vision check, looking at how well you see and screening for common refractive issues that can usually be corrected with glasses. This is a good starting point for anyone experiencing headaches, eye strain, or blurred vision, particularly with increased screen time in daily life. If anything beyond a simple vision correction is suspected, you'll be guided towards further ophthalmic evaluation rather than being left with an incomplete assessment.
This straightforward test measures how clearly you can see at both near and far distances, usually using a standard reading chart. It's often the very first step in any eye examination and helps determine whether vision falls within a normal range or needs correction. Children, in particular, benefit from regular acuity checks, since undetected vision problems can affect learning and concentration at school without anyone realising vision is actually the underlying issue.
If your vision isn't quite sharp, a refraction test determines exactly what lens power would correct it, whether for short-sightedness, long-sightedness, or astigmatism. The optometrist tries different lens combinations while you read letters on a chart, gradually narrowing down to the clearest option. This results in an accurate prescription for glasses or contact lenses, and is usually repeated every year or two, since eyesight can shift gradually over time, especially in children and older adults.
A basic eye screening offers a quick check of overall eye health and vision, useful as part of a general health check-up or when something feels slightly off but isn't yet a specific complaint. If the screening picks up anything beyond simple refractive error, such as signs that need a specialist's attention, you'll be referred on for a more detailed ophthalmic evaluation.
