Common patient questions we help with.
Short answers for the symptoms and decisions people often search before booking an eye test in Ashfield.
Why do my eyes feel gritty, watery or dry after using a computer?
Screen use can reduce blink rate and make dry eye symptoms worse. iFocus Optometrists can check your prescription, tear comfort, contact lens wear and eye health before recommending practical dry eye advice or referral where needed.
Is my child's eyesight getting worse every year?
A prescription that becomes more short-sighted over time may indicate progressing myopia. iFocus Optometrists can assess children's vision and discuss options such as MiyoSmart, Stellest, Ortho-K assessment and regular review planning where suitable.
Can headaches or blurry vision be related to my eyes?
Headaches and blurry vision can be related to prescription changes, focusing strain, dry eyes, contact lens issues or eye health concerns. A comprehensive eye test helps identify the likely cause and next steps.
Can I get contact lenses if my current lenses feel dry or blurry?
Yes. Contact lens comfort can depend on lens material, fit, replacement schedule, dry eye symptoms and prescription accuracy. iFocus Optometrists can review your current lenses and discuss daily, monthly, toric or multifocal options.
Do you provide eye care in Mandarin or Cantonese?
Yes. iFocus Optometrists supports English, Mandarin Chinese and Cantonese Chinese conversations for eye tests, children's vision, myopia control, contact lenses and glasses.
What eye symptoms should not wait for a routine appointment?
Sudden vision loss, severe eye pain, new flashes or floaters, a curtain-like shadow, new double vision, eye injury or strong light sensitivity should be treated as urgent and checked promptly.
Why do my new glasses feel wrong or make me dizzy?
New glasses can feel uncomfortable because of prescription change, lens design, frame fit, measurements, progressive lens adaptation or lens thickness. iFocus Optometrists can check the fit, prescription history and lens options.
Can eyelid irritation or blepharitis make dry eye worse?
Yes. Eyelid irritation, crusting, blocked oil glands or blepharitis-type symptoms can contribute to gritty, watery or burning eyes. Persistent eyelid symptoms should be checked so the cause and care routine are clearer.
