Eye Tests for All Ages in Belrose
Regular eye tests are vital to maintaining clear vision and overall eye health, regardless of age or stage in life.
Forestway Optometry Glenrose offers comprehensive eye tests designed to assess not just your prescription needs but also the health and functionality of your eyes. From young children to seniors, we provide personalised eye care tailored to your visual needs.
Eye Tests for Healthy Vision
When you book an eye test with us, our Belrose team will thoroughly assess your vision and eye health. Our vision test covers everything from checking for prescription updates to assessing eye coordination and screening for conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. We aim to detect any changes early and provide appropriate care so that you can enjoy optimal eye health.
How Often Should You Have an Eye Test?
Adults (18 to 40)
If you wear glasses or contact lenses, a yearly eye test is recommended to monitor any changes to your vision and eye health. Even if you don’t need vision correction, routine eye tests are crucial to detect any underlying health issues that could affect your eyes.
Adults Over 40+
For those over 40, we recommend an eye test every one to two years. This helps identify early signs of age-related eye conditions, allowing timely management and care.
Adults over 60 should book an eye test annually, as the risk of eye diseases like presbyopia, cataracts, and macular degeneration increases with age.
Children’s Eye Tests
Did you know that around 5–10% of pre-schoolers and up to 25% of school-aged children have vision problems? Early detection is key, and that’s why we suggest bringing your child in for their first eyesight test as early as six months old.
Children with existing vision concerns or risk factors like premature birth, developmental delays, or a family history of eye disease should have their eyes tested more regularly. An annual eye test is recommended for children who wear glasses or contact lenses to keep up with their changing visual needs.
