Eye Test in Ruaka — Affordable, Professional & Right Next Door

Eye Care That Serves Ruaka's Fast-Growing Community

Ruaka has transformed over the past decade into one of Nairobi's most vibrant neighbourhoods — a mix of young professionals, growing families, students from nearby colleges, and long-term residents. Each group has different eye care needs, and Ottico Eye Care is set up to serve all of them well.

For young professionals logging hours on laptops and phones, we offer blue-light filtering lenses and thorough examinations that assess screen-related eye strain. For families, we provide comprehensive children's eye tests that can catch vision problems before they affect school performance. For those who simply need a reliable prescription update or a broken pair of glasses replaced — we handle that quickly and without fuss.

Our location at West Bay Mall, Gachie is just minutes from Ruaka's main junction — accessible by car or matatu on the Northern Bypass route. Free parking is available at the mall, and walk-ins are welcome at all times.

Children's Eye Care for Ruaka's Growing Families

Ruaka is home to a significant number of young families, and children's eye care is one of the most important health checks a parent can book. Vision problems in children are surprisingly common — studies suggest that around 1 in 5 school-age children has an undetected vision issue that affects their learning and development.

At Ottico Eye Care, we conduct thorough children's examinations using techniques that do not require children to read letters. We assess their full range of vision, eye coordination, and focusing ability — then communicate the results clearly to parents. If glasses are needed, our kids' frame range makes choosing fun rather than stressful.

We recommend children's first eye test at age 3, and annual checks thereafter — especially before starting a new school year.

Screen-Smart Eye Care for Ruaka's Working Residents

Ruaka's young professional population spends significant time in front of screens — whether working remotely, commuting with phones, or unwinding with streaming. The cumulative effect on eye comfort is real: headaches, dry eyes, blurred vision at the end of the day, and difficulty focusing on distant objects after long screen sessions.

Our optometrists assess near-vision performance and accommodation alongside standard distance vision — painting a complete picture of how your eyes function in real-world conditions. We then recommend lenses that address your specific pattern of use, which may include blue-light filtering, anti-reflective coatings, or occupational near-vision lenses.

• Thorough near-vision and screen-use assessment
• Blue-light filtering for laptop and phone users
• Anti-reflective coatings to reduce glare
• Affordable pricing with no compromise on quality
