How does the eye examination at our optician in Wola proceed?

If you are getting ready to visit an optician in Wola, you may be wondering how the examination will go and whether you need to prepare for it in any way. It is worth going for this type of examination not only in case of any problems with your eyesight, but also to check whether there are any disturbing changes. Our stores are staffed by specialists with extensive and comprehensive knowledge. They also have state-of-the-art equipment at their disposal so that the examination is accurate and runs very smoothly.

Interview before the eye examination

Visits to check your eyesight are gradual, so you can be sure that the examination is conducted in a fully professional manner and the appropriate correction will be chosen. This will then translate into a measurable improvement in visual comfort. It is worth remembering that the examination itself will also be preceded by a detailed interview. This is an extremely important part that can significantly help in later diagnosis and decision making regarding correction. Here you can expect not only to be asked about any problems and the reason for your visit to the salon (whether it's for a routine checkup or related to some ailment), but also about previous visits to the specialist and eye diseases that run in the family. Questions about the use of medications are also sure to be asked. This is because thyroid problems, diabetes, or taking certain medications can cause instability in visual acuity, which could skew the test results.

Several stages of the examination

The examination itself can already be divided into five stages. It begins with the use of a special device called an autorefractometer. During this part the patient does not have to do anything or even say anything. The whole measurement takes place automatically and gives the first information about your ability to see. This step is often referred to as the initial measurement or objective method - but it is important to remember that it is not sufficient for a complete and professional evaluation of visual acuity. This brings us to the second part of the examination, which consists of detailed tests of visual acuity at a distance as well as near. The latter becomes especially important for people over the age of forty. In the next stage, the patient's accommodations, otherwise known as eye alignment, are checked. This is the process by which the eye adjusts to seeing things located at different distances.Our specialists can also diagnose problems with binocular vision, so this will also be checked. Binocular vision is the simultaneous perception of sensations from both eyes and the assembly of them into a single image. It is a complicated process, but one that is natural for humans, not intentional. If there is a lack of it, such a person may have problems with judging distances, spatial imagination, and finally coordination due to a limited field of vision. With an early diagnosis of possible disorders, there is a good chance of their correction and easier treatment, without the need for complex methods or even surgery. Finally, in the penultimate stage, our staff will perform a precise 3D measurement using Visio Office. Finally, with the help of the Eyecast application, they will make a detailed presentation and the appropriate selection of eyeglass lenses.

How long will this examination take and how to prepare for it?

The whole examination takes about 30-45 minutes, so it is not a long time considering the complexity of the tests performed. This is the optimal time, allowing for a calm and reliable assessment. A good optician's focus is precisely on helping the customer in the best way possible, rather than doing research as quickly as possible. This is because it is easy to make inaccuracies and to choose insufficiently good correction or not to notice potential eye problems. However, the visit itself does not require any special preparations. However, it is certainly worth showing up well-rested, as overtiredness, sleep problems or excessive stress can lead to some disturbances when it comes to the subjective outcome of the check. If you wear contact lenses on a daily basis, you must also remember to take them out at least half an hour before your consultation.
