Deterioration in your eyesight can be so gradual that it often goes unnoticed. This is why a regular eye examination is important.

 

The importance of regular sight examination can hardly be emphasized enough:

 

Common vision problems like short or long sightedness and astigmatism, when uncorrected frequently have a negative impact on one's quality of life. Regular prolonged use of a computer or display equipment may lead to changes in one's sight and will frequently result in unwanted visual symptoms.

 

Early detection of and intervention in certain eye and visual conditions will invariably result in a more favourable outcome. It is also know for certain eye conditions to be hereditary.

It is not unknown for an optimetrist following a sight examination to refer someone to their health practitioner for further general health assessments.
