eye Exam
At Vision Express Opticians, we recommend you have a test at least every two years. Our optometrists have over 100 different methods of eye assessment at their disposal - meaning your test can be tailored to match your exact needs. The eye test not only gives accurate assessment of your ability to see. It also gauges the general health of your eyes and can lead to early identification of other problems such as diabetes or high blood pressure.
