What Happens During The Check Up?
Firstly, our optometrist will go through an in-depth eye health questionnaire to gather information regarding your eye history. Then, your visual acuity is tested for each eye (with and without glasses/contact lenses). A color vision test might be carried out, to ensure you’re able to identify traffic lights and signals correctly. If your vision is borderline and you may require glasses, the optometrist will conduct a refraction test to check your exact prescription. Once the basic eye health and vision check is completed, our expert optometrist will advise whether you meet the standard for the RTA checks. Once the optometrist submits the test results, they will then become linked to your RTA file, making the application/ renewal process easy and smooth.
