What are the common eye health symptoms that I should be concerned about?

Common symptoms of poor eye health include blurred or double vision, frequent headaches, difficulty focusing, eye strain, sensitivity to light, and changes in colour perception. Other indicators may involve seeing halos around lights, persistent redness, or discomfort. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is crucial to seek prompt attention from an eye care professional. Regular eye tests play a vital role in maintaining good eye health and detecting potential issues early on, even in the absence of noticeable symptoms. Learn more here.

How often should you have an eye test?

Scrivens recommends that adults have their eyes tested every two years – even if they do not need glasses, or have any known eye conditions. Our Optometrists may request to see you more regularly depending on your individual  eye care needs. Children aged 16 and under and adults over 70 should have their eyes tested once a year. Regular check-ups can detect any changes to your vision, as well as any potential underlying issues.
