Taking good care of your eyes is essential since they are going to be with you for the rest of your life. An eye test examines your visual clarity, eye health, and whether you require any further help for your long- or short-term vision.
Regular eye tests will give your optician a view into your general health as well as the ability to spot possible vision issues before they become serious. This is due to the fact that common health issues like high blood pressure and high cholesterol may first show symptoms in your eyes.
When and how often should I have an eye test?
Adults should get their eyes tested at least every two years, even if they can see well, because as we age, our eyes change. Since we depend so heavily on our eyes, it’s best to monitor conditions and identify any issues as soon as possible.
Additionally, scheduling an eye exam is advised if you exhibit any presbyopia symptoms. Presbyopia, a normal aspect of ageing, is the progressive loss of your eyes’ capacity to focus on close things. If reading requires you to hold books or your phone at arm’s length, schedule an appointment so your optician may examine you and, if necessary, prescribe glasses.
What can I expect at my VIP Eyewear eye test?
We’ll check you in for your appointment as soon as you arrive. Usually, we’ll start with some preliminary assessments before your eye test.
Initially, we might perform a visual field test in which you watch flashing lights move across a screen or an eye pressure check in which we blow a puff of air into your eye. These short and painless examinations will assist us in spotting early warning indicators of eye diseases, including glaucoma. A digital retinal image will also be taken in order to preserve a lasting record of your eye health. This enables us to keep an eye on any long-term developments.
Your VIP Eye Test
Once in our clinic, the optometrist will examine different aspects of your vision using a variety of tests for up to 30 minutes.
They will test your ability to shift focus and how well you can see up close and far away. This frequently causes blurriness in your near vision and tends to diminish with age. Additionally, as we age, problems like cataracts become more common, so these can be checked for.
Lastly, they’ll keep an eye out for critical indicators that show how well you’re doing overall and whether you run the danger of developing any diseases like diabetes.
Following your eye test
Once completed, we’ll have enough data from the eye test to provide the best possible options for your vision based on your specific needs.
After discussing your options with you, we will create a personalised eyecare recommendation that outlines your needs and provides a comprehensive explanation of our recommendations, including information about any glasses or contact lenses you might require.
We’ll assist you in selecting the ideal lenses for your vision needs if you require glasses. We will then assist you in selecting the ideal pair of glasses with the assistance of an experienced member of our team.
We can help you to select frames that complement your face shape, so you can choose glasses with confidence.
