How long does an eye examination take?
Unless you have been advised otherwise, you should have an eye examination every two years. It may be necessary to have them more frequently, depending on your age and medical history.

Our eye examinations take approximately 20-30 minutes.

Discussing your needs
It is very important that we know why you are having your eyes examined.  If you are having an eye examination because you are experiencing problems with your eyes or vision we will need to know:

• what symptoms you have
• how long you have had the symptoms
• whether any changes have happened suddenly, or slowly over a period of time

Your medical history
You must also tell us if you are taking any medication. We also need to be made aware of other medical information, such as whether you suffer from headaches, currently wear spectacles or contact lenses, or have any close relatives with a history of eye problems.

Examining your Eyes
We will examine your eyes both internally and externally. This will enable us to make an assessment of the general health of your eyes and identify any other underlying medical problems. We will examine the interior of your eye by using an instrument which shines a light through the pupil, allowing a detailed examination of the internal structures. We will also test for signs of glaucoma or colour vision deficiencies.

Your vision
Measurements will be taken of your vision when you are not wearing spectacles or contact lenses to assess the extent of any visual error. If the examination shows that you could benefit from vision correction we will ask you to look through a variety of trial lenses and ask you to express an opinion on the effect that the lenses have on the quality and clarity of your vision.

Eye Movements & Co-ordination
We check your eye movement and eye coordination to make sure that both eyes are working together effectively and that no undue stress is being placed on them.

This is particularly important for those who use computer screens on a daily basis.

Your Lifestyle
We will ask for additional information which will help us to make an accurate assessment of your requirements, for example, your occupation, whether you play sports or have any hobbies which may affect your eyesight.
