Vision Diagnostics

Frequently asked questions about vision checks

• How do I know I need a vision check?

  Regular vision checks are recommended even without complaints. If you experience eye fatigue, blurred vision, “fog”, tearing, headaches, or spend significant time at a computer, it is advisable to book a comprehensive eye examination. At our clinic, vision checks include visual acuity assessment, computer-based diagnostics, and fundus examination to identify changes in time and select appropriate treatment.

• What is included in a comprehensive vision check and full eye diagnostics?

  A comprehensive vision check and full eye diagnostics include visiometry (visual acuity assessment), tonometry, refractometry, computer-based eye examination, fundus assessment, and biomicroscopy. Such a comprehensive examination not only checks vision but also identifies hidden conditions and determines the most effective treatment approach.

• How does a computer-based vision check differ from a standard chart test?

  A chart test shows how well you see at distance or near. Computer-based vision checks and diagnostics provide precise digital data about refraction, corneal curvature, and other parameters. This helps prescribe glasses or lenses more accurately and assess whether laser diagnostics or surgical treatment may be appropriate.

• Is an eye examination painful? Are there any side effects?

  Comprehensive eye examinations and computer-based diagnostics are painless and predominantly non-contact. In some cases, pupil-dilating drops are used; near vision may temporarily worsen, which is a normal reaction. Serious adverse effects are extremely rare; contraindications are assessed by the physician during consultation. Vision checks at our clinic comply with European safety standards.

• How much does a vision check cost?

  The cost of a vision check depends on the scope of examination: basic testing, a comprehensive eye examination, or expanded computer-based diagnostics. Pricing is transparent—details can be clarified at reception or during online booking. From time to time, promotions may be available, and some screening checks or consultations may be provided under special offers.

• Can I start treatment immediately after eye diagnostics?

  Yes. After the examination and interpretation of results, you will receive recommendations and a treatment plan. If necessary, conservative treatment, correction with glasses or lenses, laser diagnostics before surgery, or surgical intervention may be proposed. During consultation, the physician explains the benefits and potential disadvantages of each option so that you can make an informed decision.

• Where is it better to check vision: at an optician or at an ophthalmology clinic?

  If you simply need to update glasses, a basic visual acuity check can be performed at an optician. However, for full eye diagnostics, computer-based examination, fundus assessment, and treatment selection, it is safer to consult a specialised clinic. Our centre has all the necessary equipment for comprehensive diagnostics, and patient feedback confirms the quality of our services.

• Can everyone undergo a computer-based eye examination? Are there any contraindications?

  Computer-based diagnostics are suitable for most patients: adults, adolescents, and individuals after surgery. The physician considers comorbidities, pregnancy, medications, and possible contraindications to laser diagnostics or surgery. If limitations exist, the specialist will propose alternative methods and safe treatment. Therefore, it is important not only to check vision, but also to receive professional consultation—including cases where myopia is suspected in a child.
