Having an eye test tells you more than just whether you need glasses or not. It provides you with essential information on the health of your eyes. An extensive examination is carried out on the internal and external structures of your eyes. This is important because early signs of many underlying health conditions, such as diabetes can be identified. As well this, many other tests such as: checking how well your eyes work together (binocular vision tests), visual field analysis, colour perception tests and intraocular pressure measurements may also be performed. Our eye examinations usually last approximately 30 minutes but may take longer if additional tests are required.

WHAT TYPE OF LENSES WILL YOU NEED?

SINGLE VISION LENSES

Single vision lenses will correct your vision for one prescription and focal range only - either long sighted or short sighted.

BIFOCAL LENSES

Bifocal lenses have two prescriptions - one for long distance at the top and the other for short-distance at the bottom.

VARIFOCAL LENSES

Varifocal lenses have three prescriptions so you can see up close, intermediate and long distances.

TRANSITIONS LENSES

Transition lenses perform as other lenses indoors but react to outdoor light, blocking out harmful UV rays.

OCCUPATIONALS

Specialised lenses for computer users, designed to give clear, comfortable vision for screen and paperwork.

SPECIALIST COATINGS

From Scratch-resistant, toughened or polarized, to reflection-free and blue-filter to significantly reduce eye strain.
