0–5 min · History and what has changed<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

What you have noticed, what you do all day, medications, family history of glaucoma or macular degeneration. This is what sets the rest of the test.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Working out your prescription with a proper lens comparison. Rushing this is why people end up with glasses that never feel right.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

A slit-lamp examination of the front of the eye and a dilated look at the retina where indicated. Dilation makes you light-sensitive for a few hours, so bring sunglasses or borrow a pair.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Sudden vision loss, a curtain across your vision, or a shower of new floaters with flashing lights is an emergency — ring us immediately and we will either see you within the hour or send you straight to the eye hospital. Otherwise, book sooner rather than at your next routine test if any of these apply.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
