Eye Check

Our company provide an in-depth eye testing to make sure our customers’ eyes are being taken care of. The steps include: 

Step 1: Patient evaluation
The optometrist/optician will evaluate the patient's main reason for the visit, history of previous eye examination, current spectacle/contact lens prescription and optical needs for occupation and hobbies. These answers will allow the optometrist/optician to focus on suitable tests and provide appropriate solutions.

Step 2: Objective refraction test
This test is done to assess if your current spectacle or contact lens prescription has changed. However, as this is only an estimation of you condition, the result from this test alone is not enough to be used to prescribe spectacles or contact lenses. A subsequent subjective refraction test will be required for a more accurate assessment.

Step 3: Subjective refraction test
This is a more accurate assessment for short (myopia) or long (hyperopia) sightedness. The results from this test will be compared to your current prescription to determine whether you need to wear glasses or change your existing pair.

Step 4: Fan chart and cross cylinder
This test is to evaluate the presence or power and angle of astigmatism a person has. Astigmatism occurs when the transparent front layer of the eye, the cornea, is not evenly curved. According to Mayoclinic.com, symptoms of astigmatism include distortion in portions of your visual field, blurring of vertical, horizontal or diagonal lines, eyestrain or fatigue and headaches.

Step 5: Visual acuity test
The visual acuity test assess a person's best possible vision performance. It means the results may not necessary mean the sharpest vision, but a vision that will cater best to your vision needs.

Step 6: Duo-chrome test
The duo-chrome test checks whether your prescription lenses over-corrects or under-corrects your short- or long-sightedness.

Step 7: Binocular balancing
This test ensures that both eyes are equally balanced in clarity or sharpness so that you can have a comfortable vision. If each eye sees with different clarity and the binocular balancing is not done, the brain will have difficulty in fusing the images together.

Step 8: Near vision test
This is a test to assess if a person (usually 38 years and above) needs a reading (long vision) prescription. Generally this will be tested at a distance where you normally do your reading. 

Step 9: Colour vision test
As its name implies, this test determines if a person can discern one colour from the other (the most common colour vision deficiency is the inability to differentiate red from green).

Step 10: Vision analysis
After all the steps are carried out, the optometrist will review and analyse the data obtained and make final adjustments to the prescription, if necessary.
