Why it matters
Eye symptoms and lens choices can have several causes. A local optometrist can check vision, eye health, prescription and daily visual demands before giving advice.
When to book an appointment
Book an eye test if symptoms are new, changing, one-sided, affecting work, school, driving or screen use, or if your current glasses or contact lenses no longer feel comfortable.
