Regular vision screening, at least once a year, is just as vital as regular health screening. Also because deteriorating eyesight is not always accompanied by pain or major complaints, usually it is a very slow process.
It happens very often that we only realize how much better we could see when we have our vision checked. At Rapidus Ophthalmology eye examination is carried out only by highly trained professionals with many years of expertise.
How do the eye examination and glasses prescription work with us?
Based on the results of our objective and subjective vision tests, we determine exactly what diopter lenses our patient will need. We offer new spectacle lenses based on the information received during the eye examination and the patient’s previous experience as well as individual needs.
