What is an Eye Health Check Up?

At My London Skin Clinic in Dubai, we offer a comprehensive eye health check-up performed by our qualified optometrist. This in-depth assessment examines the overall health, function, and well-being of your eyes—helping you protect one of your most important senses.

During your eye exam, we use advanced diagnostic techniques to check for common vision problems such as farsightedness, nearsightedness, and astigmatism. In addition, our optometrist carefully screens for early signs of eye diseases, including cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Detecting these conditions early allows for more effective treatment and prevention of vision loss.

A regular eye checkup is not only about clear vision—it’s also an important part of maintaining your long-term eye health and preventing disease.

What Happens During the Check Up?

Your eye examination is carried out by an experienced optometrist who takes time to explain each step of the process and answer your questions.

  1. Visual Acuity Test – This test measures how well you can see at different distances using an eye chart. It helps identify whether you may need glasses or contact lenses.
  2. Eye Movement and Coordination Test – Your optometrist will check how well your eyes work together to track and focus on moving objects.
  3. Eye Pressure Test (Tonometry) – Measuring intraocular pressure helps detect glaucoma, a common condition that can cause vision loss if untreated.
  4. Comprehensive Eye Health Assessment – The optometrist will examine your cornea, lens, retina, and eyelids, using a slit lamp or ophthalmoscope to look for early signs of disease or damage.

Our goal is to provide a thorough, comfortable, and professional eye check-up in Dubai that gives you a clear understanding of your eye health.

Should Everyone Get Their Eyes Checked?

Yes. Regular eye exams are essential for everyone—even if you have no noticeable symptoms. Many eye conditions develop silently, showing no obvious signs until significant damage has already occurred.

Our optometrist recommends:

  • Adults (18–60): every 1–2 years
  • Children and teenagers: at least once every two years, or more frequently if vision issues are suspected
  • Adults over 60: annually
  • People with diabetes or a family history of eye disease: yearly or as advised

Consistent vision screening and early detection can help preserve your eyesight and prevent long-term complications. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, regular eye exams also ensure your prescription remains up-to-date for optimal vision comfort.

Preparing for Your Eye Check-Up

Before the Appointment

To make the most of your eye health check-up, please:

  • Bring a list of all current medications, supplements, or ongoing treatments.
  • Bring your current spectacles or contact lenses for evaluation.
  • Try to rest your eyes before your appointment. Avoid prolonged screen use, driving, or reading small print, as these can strain your eyes.
  • Get a full night’s sleep the day before—well-rested eyes are easier to examine and more comfortable during the test.

If you have any specific concerns about your vision, let our optometrist know before your exam so they can tailor your assessment.

After Your Eye Exam

Following your eye check-up, you may experience temporary blurred vision or light sensitivity, particularly if your pupils were dilated. Here are some helpful aftercare tips:

  • Wear dark sunglasses to protect against bright light.
  • Avoid rubbing your eyes for several hours.
  • Avoid reading small fonts or prolonged screen use immediately after the test.
  • Do not drive for at least four hours following your exam or until your vision feels normal again.

Your optometrist will explain your results in detail, answer any questions, and provide recommendations on treatments, glasses, or further testing if required.
