What happens in an eye test

Thirty minutes with an optometrist in a quiet room. Nothing touches your eye, and you leave with your prescription in writing.

1

A few questions

How your eyes feel, your health and medicines, your work and screens, and what you wear now. Bring your current glasses.

2

Pressure and the back of the eye

A quick pressure check and a photograph of the retina, so we can compare it at your next test.

3

Reading the chart

Each eye on its own, then both together, at distance and for reading.

4

Finding your prescription

The optometrist changes lenses in the phoropter and asks which looks sharper, one or two.

5

What we found

We explain the results in plain words and give you your prescription in writing. You are free to buy glasses anywhere.

From $129

Metal frames

Titanium and stainless steel. The lightest frames we sell, with adjustable nose pads.

Lenses and coatings

The lens matters more than the frame for how well you see. We explain the choices for your prescription and never add a coating you do not need.

  • Thinner lenses for strong prescriptions
  • Anti-reflective coating for night driving and screens
  • Varifocals measured to your frame and the way you hold your head

Single vision

Repairs while you wait

Our workshop is upstairs, so most small repairs take ten minutes. Bring glasses from anywhere; we do not mind where you bought them.

  • Loose screws and wobbly arms: free
  • New nose pads, fitted and adjusted
  • New lenses in your own frame
  • Arms straightened after a sit-on accident

Questions people ask at the desk

Do you take vision insurance?

We work with most vision plans (sample). Bring your card or plan number and we check your cover before the test.

How long do new glasses take?

Single-vision lenses are often ready the next day. Varifocals and thinner lenses take five to seven working days (sample).

Can you make glasses from another optician's prescription?

Yes, if the prescription is less than two years old. Bring it with you or send a photo with the booking form.

Do I need an appointment?

Booking is best, especially on Saturdays. Walk-ins are welcome Tuesday to Saturday when a test room is free.

Can I try contact lenses first?

Yes. A fitting includes a trial pair to wear for two weeks before you decide.
