What happens at an eye test
An eye test checks how well you see and the health of your eyes. The optometrist will usually ask about your health and any symptoms, check your vision and prescription, and look at the front and back of your eyes. Many opticians also measure the pressure in your eyes and offer extra scans such as OCT.
Bring your current glasses or contact lenses, a list of any medicines you take and proof of NHS entitlement if you have it. Afterwards you will be given your prescription, which you can use at any optician.
