Eye examinations
At Groovy Glasses, we prioritse your eye health beyond just checking your vision. Our comprehensive eye assessments delve into detecting various eye conditions and diseases using cutting-edge technology. Remember, good vision doesn’t guarantee healthy eyes. Regular assessments are vital to detecting and treating any issues early, ensuring optimal eye health for the long term.
However, many eye diseases and conditions are preventable and treatable if caught in time. The key is regular eye assessments to ensure your eyes are healthy.
Each eye assessment lasts 50 minutes, and includes:
This measures how well you can see at different distances.
Determines your prescription for glasses or contact lenses.
Checks for problems with eye movements and coordination.
Uses a microscope to examine the front of your eye, including the cornea, iris, and lens.
This involves using eye drops to widen your pupils, allowing the doctor to see the inside of your eye and check for any signs of disease or damage.
Our practice is fully equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic technology:
Corneal topographer

Remember, your eye exam is similar to a warrant of fitness, but for your eyes – if you keep on top of it and come in every one to two years, hopefully you’ll get all the boxes ticked but if not, at least you are onto the problem and it will be managed promptly by the experts!
