When to Get an Advanced Eye Test?
Everyone deserves an Advanced Eye Test.
The results found can form a baseline for future eye tests. This will help the optometrist compare the future results with the baseline and detect early changes.
Eyes are often neglected unless you wear glasses. We recommend that you should go for regular eye exams even if you don't wear glasses. This is how you can catch early signs of health issues.
