Unfortunately we have a habit of taking our eyes for granted. Research from the College of Optometrists suggests that a quarter of adults have gone for more than two years without having an eye examination, whilst 18 per cent leave it more than three years. It is really important that the health of your eyes is assessed regularly. An eye examination can pick up any potential problems early. It is recommended that adults have an eye examination at least every two years (unless you are advised that this should be more frequent). An eye examination will identify what your level of vision is and whether you need glasses or contact lenses to correct your sight. Your eyes and the areas around them will be examined to look for signs of injury, disease or abnormality. An eye examination with an optometrist takes around 30 to 45 minutes and is tailored to your needs and lifestyle. There are many ways of assessing the health of your eyes and how well you see. These range from retinal digital imaging to 3D testing, eye co-ordnation testing and peripheral vision assessment. If you need glasses, already wear them all the time or just for occasional use, your optometrist will help you understand the type of lenses and frames that may suit you.
