Eye Tests

Regular eye tests are not just for those who need glasses or contact lenses, they play a critical role in detecting conditions at an early stage when they’re more manageable as well as maintaining good eye health and protecting your future vision.

Why do I need an eye test?

An eye test can help with:

 

Accurate Vision Correction

If you already wear glasses or contacts, routine check-ups ensure your prescription is up-to-date. Even minor vision changes can cause headaches, difficulty focusing, and impaired performance at work or school.

 

Early Detection

Many eye diseases show no symptoms until significant damage has occurred. But Regular check-ups can highlight conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy at an early stage when they’re more manageable.

 

Prevention of Vision Loss

Regular eye tests can also check for conditions that could lead to blindness if left untreated. By identifying potential issues early, treatment can be started promptly, preventing vision loss. 

 

Overall Health Check

Eye tests can also reveal other health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and even brain tumours. The blood vessels in your eyes can indicate signs of these conditions, alerting you to seek medical attention.
