Optometry

Our experienced Optometrists are trained to detect defects in vision, signs of eye injury, and ocular (eye) diseases or abnormalities. At Ekhaya Health & Fitness Gym, we offer a thorough eye assessment, clinical advice, and the prescription of spectacles or contact lenses.

What to expect during an eye exam

During the exam

An eye exam usually involves these steps:

• The Optometrist will ask about your full medical history and any vision problems you might be experiencing.
• Your Optometrist examines your visual acuity to see if you need glasses or contact lenses to improve your vision.
• A numbing drop will be inserted into your eyes; then your eye pressure is measured.
• To make it easier for your Optometrist to examine the inside of your eye, they may dilate your eyes with more eye drops. Next, the health of your eyes are checked, using several lights to examine the front of the eyes and the inside of the eyes.
• Several different tests may be conducted during the eye examination. The tests are designed to check your vision and examine the function and appearance of all parts of your eyes.

After the exam

After your eye exam, the Optometrist will discuss the results of all the tests, including an assessment of your vision, your risk of eye diseases and preventive measures to protect your vision. They will also provide you with a prescription for spectacles or contact lenses if necessary. Finally, we will help you choose spectacles or contact lenses to suit your needs.
