We start with your story: your eye health, family history, medication, allergies and what you need to see well at work, on the road and on screens. The clinical part then covers visual acuity, your visual skills and a visual fields screening, and ends with your prescription and what we suggest for it.
What we check
- 1
Case history
Your eyes, your health, your family history and how you use your eyes every day.
- 2
Visual acuity
How small you can read on the chart, far and near, one eye at a time.
- 3
Refraction
"One or two?" Lenses are swapped until the letters are as sharp as they get. That is your prescription.
- 4
Visual skills and fields
Focusing, eye teamwork, depth and colour, and how wide you see.
- 5
Eye health
A look inside the eye. At branches with a fundus camera we photograph the retina so changes can be compared next time.
One or two? Try it.
6/6. That is sharp. That was the easy part of a real test. The rest checks focus, eye teamwork, side vision and the health of the eye itself.
A demonstration, not a diagnosis. Screens cannot measure your eyes.
Curious what "one or two" feels like?
This is the refraction part of the test, the bit everyone remembers. In the chair it is done for each eye, with real lenses, and it is only one of the checks.
