Q. THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A VISION SCREENING AND AN EYE EXAM?

A. A common mistake many people make is to assume that a vision screening is actually a comprehensive eye exam, this is not the case.

Vision screenings are basic eye tests that help identify whether you have any problem with your vision, but does not test for eye diseases or the underlying causes for any vision problem you may have. It does, however, indicate whether you should get a comprehensive eye exam, but should not be seen as a substitute for one.

A comprehensive eye examination on the other hand is performed by an eye doctor and will involve a thorough examination of all aspects of your vision. Your doctor will then recommend a treatment plan customised to your individual needs. This includes prescription lenses, eye exercises, eye drops or ointment, and even surgery if the problem is serious.
