Optometric examination

What is this?

An optometric examination combines your reason for attending with measurements of vision and, when appropriate, an assessment of eye health. The exact examination is adapted to age, symptoms and risk factors.

When can this test be useful?

• Discussion of symptoms, relevant history, medication and current glasses or contact lenses.
• Measurements may include visual acuity, refraction, eye pressure and assessment of eye structures.
• Relevant findings may lead to additional imaging, follow-up or referral.

What can you expect?

We start with your reason for attending and relevant history, then perform only the measurements that fit the purpose of the visit. Findings and possible next steps are explained clearly.

What happens next?

The outcome may be reassuring, lead to follow-up, an updated correction or — when needed — advice to contact a GP or ophthalmologist.
