Check yearly for peace of mind.
As a proper eye check saves sight and lives!
An optometric examination covers more than just vision testing or refraction (checking of eye power). It is a comprehensive evaluation of the functioning of the eyes as well as the visual system. It also helps to detect the presence of ocular diseases with or without the association of systemic diseases e.g. diabetes, hypertension etc.
