An eye test is about much more than reading a chart. A good optometrist checks the health of the whole eye, watching for glaucoma and macular degeneration — among the most common sight-threatening conditions — and many now use OCT, hospital-grade technology that maps the back of the eye in 3D. Children's eyes deserve early checks too, since unnoticed vision problems can affect learning through the school years, and a sore or red eye is worth a visit in its own right, as optometrists can prescribe drops and other treatment.
Inside Bayfair, it's an easy stop to book an eye test or hearing check around a shopping trip in Mount Maunganui.
