Your vision, your needs: how your eye test works in store
Your vision deserves our full attention
VDo you sometimes notice your vision isn’t as clear as it used to be? Do your eyes feel strained by the end of the day? Do you find yourself squinting to read a message or recognize a sign in the distance?
These small everyday signs may indicate that your vision has changed.
Some of the most common symptoms that may indicate a need for vision correction include:
- blurred vision at near or far distances
- headaches after prolonged visual effort
- eye strain when using screens
- squinting to see more clearly
- difficulty reading small text
- increased sensitivity to light
- double vision or trouble focusing
If you recognize any of these signs, an eye test can help you regain clear, comfortable vision.
At Visilab, we take care of your vision with precision and attention, ensuring that your correction is perfectly adapted to your needs.
Why is it important to check your vision regularly?
Vision naturally evolves over time. Regular eye examinations ensure that your glasses or contact lenses remain adapted to your current vision.
Beyond visual comfort, an eye test also contributes to the prevention of certain eye conditions. It allows us to:
- precisely adjust your correction to reduce visual fatigue
- improve your everyday comfort, both at work and during leisure activities
A perfectly adjusted vision correction does more than improve your sight — it also enhances your visual well-being, your concentration and your overall comfort in daily life.
How does an eye test at Visilab work?
During your appointment, our optometrists follow a structured protocol to assess both your vision and the health of your eyes. Each step ding a comprehensive understanding of your visual needs.
(Visual elements can be added next to each step, such as photos of our in-store equipment.)
1. Welcome and creation of your file
Your eye test begins with a discussion with your optician. We explain the process and create your customer file so we can keep track of your examination history and prescriptions.
This first step enables us to provide personalized follow-up for your visual health.
2. Analysis of your visual habits
We then take time to better understand your visual lifestyle.
Your optometrist will ask questions about:
- your profession;
- your screen usage
- your leisure activities
- the distances at which you use your vision most (reading, computer work, driving, etc.)
- any visual discomfort you may experience
- the date of your last eye examination
Your general health and visual history are also considered to provide a complete overview of your situation.
3. Screening pre-tests
Several simple tests are performed to assess the essential functions of your vision:
- measurement of your baseline visual acuity to evaluate your vision with or without your current glasses
- binocular vision test to assess the coordination between both eyes
- an initial estimate of your correction using an autorefractor. This device provides an objective measurement of your refractive error while you look at an image for a few seconds. This step is essential before your vision exam.
4. Precise determination of your correction
The optometrist then refines this measurement using a phoropter, an electronically controlled device containing multiple precision lenses. At this stage, you actively collaborate with the specialist: your feedback helps determine your optimal correction with high accuracy.
Finally, your correction is tested using trial frames to ensure clear and comfortable vision in real-life conditions.
A careful and personalized approach
At Visilab, every eye test is carried out with the utmost care and with a strong focus on your comfort and visual habits. Our goal is simple: to provide you with clear, comfortable vision adapted to your lifestyle.
Taking care of your vision today means preserving the quality of your eyesight for the years to come.
