Comprehensive Eye Check-Up
Did You Know?
“80% of all vision impairment are avoidable” – World Health Organisation (WHO), 2018
A comprehensive eye check-up is a detailed and thorough eye assessment that covers from the front part until the back of the eye. The aim is to ensure that the eye is healthy. It is advised that you undergo a comprehensive eye check-up at least once in a lifetime, especially if you are above 40 years old or have a family history of ocular disorders.
This is important as there are eye diseases that cause silent blindness where the early symptoms are too subtle to be noticed.
