Let's talk Eye Exams

An eye examination is a full, comprehensive assessment of your vision and your eye health.

What is involved in an eye exam?

• A review of your general family and personal health history
• A thorough examination of your eyes, both exteriorly and interiorly, for signs of eye disease. This can sometimes show signs of general health problems such as diabetes, cholesterol and blood pressure
• Eye pressure test
• Tests to determine the presence of nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, depth perception problems and in people over age 40, a test to check for presbyopia (an age-relate condition that affects reading vision)
• A check of eye coordination and eye muscle function to be certain the eyes are working well together
• Our thorough exam includes a discussion of the exam's findings and any treatment prescribed, as well as personal advice about such matters as good vision on the job, eye safety, maintaining eye health, prescription lens choices and environmental factors, such as lighting, affecting a person's eyes and vision.
• OCT scan if requested or advised
• Visual field exam if advised

Let's talk Contact Lenses

Contact lenses give a welcome alternative to spectacles. They provide patients with options when playing sport, high prescriptions & wider fields of view. Sometimes people just like to wear contacts socially or just get a break from their spectacles. We can fit you with the best contact lenses for your vision, for your requirements & for the health of your eyes.

Previously you may have been restricted with contact lens options if you had a particular eye condition. But now with huge advancements in the contact lens industry, most spectacle wearers should have the option of wearing contact lenses also.

Contact us to discuss contact lenses with our experienced Optometrist. We will make the journey seamless for you!

Let's talk about Myopia Control

"Myopia control" is the term used to describe specific treatments to slow the progression of short-sightedness in children.

Myopia control is important because it may help reduce the risk of vision-threatening complications associated with high myopia later in life — including glaucoma, cataracts, retinal detachment and even blindness.

Wearing special contact lenses or spectacles can help slow the progression of myopia in some children. At Kearney & MacNally Opticians We use the Hoya Miyosmart lens which has been proven to slow down myopia by up to 59%. We are thrilled to say that we can no longer just correct myopia, but that we can now treat it.
