What's included?
An adult eye examination at NHK Opticians is a comprehensive clinical assessment, typically including:
​
-
A detailed discussion about your vision, lifestyle and visual demands
-
Assessment of your visual acuity and prescription
-
Evaluation of eye coordination and focusing ability
-
Measurement of eye pressure (where clinically appropriate)
-
Examination of the health of the front and back of your eyes
-
Screening for common eye conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and cataracts
-
A dry eye assessment
Where recommended, we also use advanced diagnostic and imaging tests to allow earlier detection of eye disease - often before you notice any symptoms.
Enhanced eyecare options . . .
For patients who want a deeper insight into their eye health, we offer a range of enhanced adult eye exams. These may include advanced imaging such as Optical CT Scans (OCT) and Fundus photography that provide a highly detailed view of the structures inside your eyes. This allows for:
-
Earlier detection of eye disease
-
More accurate monitoring over time
-
Greater peace of mind about long‑term eye health
Your optometrist will explain whether these options are suitable or recommended for you.
Eye examinations tailored to modern life . . .
Adult vision demands have changed significantly in recent years. Many people now experience:
​
-
Eye strain or headaches from screen use
-
Difficulty focusing between near and distance vision
-
Night‑time or driving‑related vision problems
-
Fatigue or discomfort with contact lenses
Your eye examination is tailored to address these challenges, with practical advice and solutions designed around your day‑to‑day life, not just your prescription.
