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.
