An eye examination is usually recommended at least once every two years. This is because an eye examination involves a thorough health check of the eyes, as well as checking whether you require a new prescription. Remember this is not a substitute for a full examination, but it will give you an idea whether there are any problems with your vision which should be addressed.
It is a thorough health check of the eyes and can also identify general health conditions. It is important for us to know what has prompted you to have an eye examination - is it just time for a check-up or have you been experiencing any problems or concerns? If there are any concerns, we will ask you a few questions about these to help us pinpoint what is causing the problems, for example whether it is affecting one eye or both, and when you first noticed the problem.Information about your general health is also very useful as some eye problems can be linked to systemic conditions.
A contact lens aftercare is not the same as an eye examination. We can combine the two into one appointment to make things more convenient for you, so when booking your appointment be sure to let us know if you are a contact lens wearer so we can allow enough time. Contact lens aftercares are extremely important as you do not always experience symptoms if there are health problems occurring.
OCT stands for Optical Coherence Tomography. It is a complex technology that looks in detail at the structure and layers of the retina. We mostly use this instrument to look at two main areas of the retina. This is the most sensitive part of the eye, and is the part you use when you are looking at something directly.
