FAQ

How often should I have my eyes examined?

It’s recommended to have a comprehensive eye exam every one to two years, depending on your age, risk factors, and if you wear corrective lenses.

What are the signs that I might need glasses?

Common signs include frequent headaches, squinting, difficulty seeing at night, and blurry vision. If you experience any of these symptoms, schedule an eye exam.

Can I wear contact lenses if I have astigmatism?

Yes, there are specialised contact lenses, such as toric lenses, designed to correct astigmatism and provide clear vision.

How can I prevent digital eye strain?

To reduce digital eye strain, follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away. Also, consider using anti-reflective lenses and proper lighting.

What are the benefits of polarised sunglasses?

Polarised sunglasses reduce glare from reflective surfaces like water or roads, improve visual comfort, and enhance contrast and clarity.

Are there special considerations for children’s eye exams?

Yes, children’s eye exams focus on detecting issues like lazy eye, misalignment, and ensuring proper visual development. It’s crucial to start eye exams early to address any potential problems promptly.
