The Experience

What Happens at Your Eye Test

A relaxed, professional exam in 20–30 minutes. Here's exactly what to expect.

Vision Clarity

Near and distance acuity testing to determine exactly how clearly you see — the foundation of any accurate prescription.

Prescription Assessment

We determine your exact lens power, whether you are short-sighted, long-sighted, or have astigmatism.

Eye Muscle Balance

We check that both eyes work together properly. Poor coordination causes headaches, double vision and rapid eye fatigue.

Eye Health Screening

A general health check of the front and back of the eye — early detection of glaucoma, cataracts and retinal changes.

Digital Eye Strain

For office workers and students, we assess screen-related fatigue and recommend the most appropriate lens solution.

Colour & Depth Perception

Important for drivers and active adults — we check how accurately you perceive colour and judge distances.
