 Regular
eye examinations are an essential part of eye health. They assess the
level of your vision and check the health of each eye. Examinations
can detect changes in your eyes and help to identify problems at an
early stage.
At Hunmanby Opticians all eye examinations
are carried out by our optometrists.
We recommend that all adults undergo an eye examination
every two years and that those under 16 or over 70 do so every year.
If your work requires that you are “regularly using a terminal
for spells of one hour or more” you may be able to ask your
employer to pay for your eye examination and contribute towards the
cost of
any glasses that you may need to use. This includes computer monitors
and
shop tills. Please enquire for more details.
This examination analyses the vision
of each eye, checking for conditions such as long or short
sightedness, and
presbyiopia – old
sightedness. The health of your eyes is also examined to identify
any changes since your previous test and to help rectify any problems.
During
this brief, painless and comfortable procedure you will be asked a
few questions about your medical history as this information helps
us to
assess correctly the performance of your eyes. You will then be asked
to respond
to a range of visual stimuli, including the familiar reading letters
of gradually reducing size.
