  • 03 What is an OCT exam?

    OCT stands for optical coherence tomography. It is a non-invasive type of retinal scan that allows us to see all the layers of the retina going beneath the surface. This allows us to more accurately assess the health of the retina and help diagnose eye conditions at an earlier stage. At SpecialEyes Eyecare, we provide a free OCT scan with every eye test.
  • 04 Is there a difference between a contact lens test and an eye test?

    An eye test is a test where an optician tests the quality of your vision and your eye health for any conditions. Eye tests also check for your prescription in glasses which is different to the prescription for contact lenses.
    During a contact lens test we will check the health of the front surface of your eye. We will also measure the shape of the eye. From this information we will select a lens suitable for your eye shape and health as well as finding the appropriate prescription for contact lenses
  • 05 What tests are used in the eye examination?

    When you arrive to our optician we will first do a pre-screening examination to get some general information about the health of your eyes.
    During the pre-screening, we will take measurements of the shape of your eye and may need to take pressure readings of your eyes.
    We also do A free OCT retinal scan for anybody who does an eye test with us. This helps us to diagnose any eye conditions and also to help monitor the health of your eyes over time.
    You will then be taken for your eye examination where the optometrist will do all the necessary tests required.
  • 06 Can I have a contact lens test without an eye test?

    You can only have a contact lens test with a valid eye test prescription. This is because we need up-to-date measurements of your eyes to get the best results for your contact lens prescription.
