How often should I get my eyes checked?
We recommend that you have a comprehensive eye examination every one to two years, depending on your age, risk factors and whether you currently wear corrective lenses. Contact lens wearers should have yearly eye examinations. Regular eye examinations can do more than help you see better. They can identify issues of early on-set blindness, glaucoma and even certain kinds of cancer.
How long does it take to have an eye examination?
An eye examination usually takes about 30-40 minutes. If you're planning to pick out glasses on the same day though, give yourself a bit more time. You don't want to rush while picking out your new look!
What should I bring with me to my eye examination?
A list of any medications you are currently taking. Bring all pairs of spectacles you normally wear. If you wear contact lenses, please wear these to the appointment and bring a copy of our most recent contact lens prescription if possible. If applicable, bring medical insurance details (like Southern Cross) if you are seeking insurance coverage for a portion of your fees. Finally, bring your questions or concerns that you would like to discuss with your Optometrist.
What causes glaucoma?
Glaucoma is a condition caused by raised pressure inside your eyeball, often due to issues in the eye’s fluid draining system. This causes elevated pressure, which damages the optic nerve. Glaucoma is often called the ‘silent thief’ of eye sight because it affects your peripheral vision very gradually, often without being noticed. If left untreated, it can eventually cause blindness.
Regular eye examinations are your first defense against glaucoma, as are the healthy lifestyle habits. Advanced technology means we can detect glaucoma earlier and treat glaucoma earlier. If you do have glaucoma, treatment options include eye drops, laser and surgery procedures. Your eye care professional will discuss the best choice for you.
What causes dry eyes?
Dry eye is a frustrating condition, characterised by an inability or difficulty in producing tears that provide sufficient lubrication. This causes the eye to become dry, red and painful.
Dry eye affects more women than men and is more common with age. Symptoms can include blurred vision, pain, redness, stinging, burning and an inability to cry.
Fortunately, there are things you can do to treat dry eyes. Eye washes, eye drops, ointments, decongestant medications and IPL treatments are some ways to provide relief and reduce symptoms.
