What people from Nyari usually come in for
Every visit starts with an eye test, and the right lens follows from your prescription and routine. These are the most common reasons a household visits an optician.
School-age children
Children rarely say they can't see the board, so an eye test before or during the school year is worthwhile. We test children and stock kids' glasses. Children's eye exams
Long hours on screens
Tired eyes and headaches after laptop work often come down to an uncorrected or outdated prescription. Single vision lenses matched to your working distance usually help. Single vision lenses
Reading getting harder after 40
Holding your phone further away is a normal age change. Progressive lenses give you distance, computer and reading vision in one pair, and we explain the standard and premium options honestly. Progressive lenses
Driving, especially at night
If headlights and halos bother you, start with an up-to-date prescription, then add anti-reflective lenses. Night driving glasses
Strong prescriptions
If your lenses are thick and heavy, high-index lenses make them thinner and lighter for the same prescription. High-index lenses
