As a family opticians, one of the main things we do is eye examinations. Everybody should have regular eye exams, regardless of whether you think your sight is okay. An eye exam tests your eye health as well as your vision, and this is important as many eye conditions and diseases don’t show any symptoms until irreversible damage has already been done.

Eye Examination at Optikal Opticians

A typical adult eye examination includes several different tests. We have all the latest equipment to ensure your eye exam is comprehensive and professional. We treat you individually and take our time, ensuring you are comfortable and confident throughout.

We’ll test your vision to see if you need glasses or contacts to correct it. Your vision changes as you age, so checking this regularly is essential. We also do a binocular assessment, which tests how well your eyes work together, and a peripheral visual field analysis to test your peripheral vision and the pressure in your eyes.

We also include an OCT scan in our comprehensive eye exams, an advanced 3D scan of your eye that enables our optometrist to see the layers of your eyes in minute detail. This scan lets us spot the tiniest changes in your eyes and is instrumental in detecting conditions such as glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and diabetic retinopathy. Spotting these problems early gives a much greater chance of successful treatment.
