Vision & Refraction Examination
Measurement of your exact spectacle or contact lens power. Professional vision assessment by qualified optometry professionals.
Clear vision starts with the right prescription.
Refraction establishes how clearly you see at distance and near, and what correction brings your vision to its best. It is the test behind every pair of glasses we dispense.
High-power and special-power lenses are available, along with single vision, bifocal and progressive options.
