There
is much more to your eye examination at Hunmanby Opticians than
simply finding out if you need new spectacles. Everyone's eyesight is
different
so we tailor the examination to your individual circumstances and carry
out a range of tests to assess the health of your eyes.
Your sight is your most precious sense and deserves the
highest standards of professional care. Poor sight can also indicate the
presence of potentially serious diseases such as glaucoma or macular
degeneration or general health problems like diabetes or high
blood pressure. Eye conditions often develop slowly and can be painless
so you may not notice initial symptoms. This is why it is essential to
have your eyes examined regularly. The sooner any problem is detected
the greater the chance of it being treated successfully.
We recommend that all adults undergo an eye examination every two years and the under 16s and over 70s should do so every year.
Other groups may also require more frequent tests - your optometrist will
advise you as to when to return.
Anyone who is employed to use alpha numeric display equipment
for periods of one hour or more should have their eye examination paid
for by their employer; this includes those who use computer monitors and
shop tills. We can provide more details on request. |
