Your eye health is our priority
The health of your eyes couldn’t be more important to us.
That’s why we provide a complete eye health examination when you visit Optical Express for an eye test. It is recommended that you have an eye test every two years or as recommended by your optometrist.
With regular eye tests, we’re able to monitor your eye health and pick up on any changes that have occurred.
Eye tests
It's more than just a sight test; it can identify other health issues, too. Your optometrist will advise you as to how often you should have your eyes tested, but for most people, every two years is recommended. In younger people under the age of 16, or for those with certain eye conditions, annual or more frequent eye examinations may be recommended.
