What to expect during your eye test

Your appointment starts with a conversation about your eyesight, general health, medication and any changes you have noticed. We then check how clearly you can see, refine your prescription and assess how well your eyes work together.

Your optometrist will examine the health of the front and back of each eye. Depending on your needs, this may include eye-pressure checks, retinal photography or an OCT scan. We finish by explaining the results clearly and discussing glasses, contact lenses, treatment or monitoring only where they would benefit you.

How long does an eye test take?

Allow around 30 to 45 minutes for a typical appointment. An advanced examination may take a little longer when extra imaging, additional tests or dilating eye drops are needed. We do not rush appointments, so there is time to ask questions about your eye health and prescription.

How often should you have an eye test?

Most adults should have an eye test at least every two years. Your optometrist may recommend more frequent checks if you are a child, over 60, have diabetes, have a family history of eye disease or are monitoring an existing condition. Book sooner if you notice sudden changes in vision, flashes, new floaters, pain or persistent discomfort.

Who it's for

Anyone who wants extra peace of mind, has a family history of eye disease, or is monitoring an existing condition. Recommended every 1–2 years depending on age and history.
