When you see the Opticians here they
will conduct a series of test to check the level of your sight as well
as assessing the health of your eyes. They will also be asking you
questions about recent sight problems you may have had and any previous
history in your family.
Using different instruments the Optician
will examine the interior of the eye to assess the condition of it, and
check the muscular balance as well. If you are over the age of 40 years
old, or you, or a close member of your family have a condition called
Glaucoma then further test will be carried out.
Once the examination is over and you
have been given a prescription you will then see a Dispensing Optician
who will talk you through what you need in the way of spectacles. In
discussion with you and looking at your hobbies, job or sporting
activities you will be helped to make a decision on style of frame, type
of lenses or contact lenses you require.
