Clear vision is essential for daily life, and the right pair of glasses can make all the difference. A glasses checkup (also called spectacle checkup, eye power testing, or vision screening) ensures that your prescription is accurate and your eyes remain healthy.
At Curis Life Multispecialty Clinic in Andheri West, our expert ophthalmologists provide comprehensive eye exams and vision testing to help patients update their glasses, detect early signs of eye strain, and rule out serious eye conditions.
What is a Glasses Checkup?
A glasses checkup is a routine eye examination that measures your eye power and checks if your current glasses or contact lenses are still suitable.
During the test, our specialists:
- Evaluate your visual acuity (near and distance vision).
- Identify refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, or presbyopia.
- Prescribe updated lenses if needed.
Why is a Regular Glasses Checkup Important?
Many people continue wearing the same glasses for years without realizing their prescription has changed. A regular checkup can:
- Improve clarity and reduce headaches caused by outdated prescriptions.
- Detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma, cataract, or diabetic retinopathy.
- Prevent eye strain and fatigue from screen use.
- Ensure safe driving and reading comfort.
- Provide children with timely correction to support learning and development.
Symptoms
You may need to update your prescription if you notice:
- Blurred or cloudy vision with current glasses.
- Frequent headaches or eye strain.
- Difficulty focusing on near or distant objects.
- Squinting or tilting head to see clearly.
- Double vision or halos around lights.
- Trouble reading or prolonged screen discomfort.
Causes of Refractive Errors
The main causes of vision issues that require glasses include:
- Genetic factors – family history of myopia or astigmatism.
- Aging – presbyopia or reduced near vision after 40.
- Screen time & digital strain – excessive computer/mobile use.
- Eye shape abnormalities – irregular corneal curvature.
- Medical conditions – diabetes, hypertension, thyroid problems.
Diagnosis During Glasses Checkup
Our ophthalmologists in Andheri West use advanced diagnostic tools such as:
- Visual acuity test – reading charts at different distances.
- Refraction test (manual & computerized) – measures exact eye power.
- Slit lamp examination – checks overall eye health.
- Intraocular pressure (IOP) test – screens for glaucoma.
- Retina evaluation – detects early eye diseases.
This ensures that patients get not just an updated prescription but also a complete eye health evaluation.
Treatment and Solutions After Glasses Checkup
Based on the results, our specialists may recommend:
- Updated glasses prescription.
- Contact lens fitting (soft, toric, or multifocal).
- Blue light protection lenses for digital screen users.
- Lifestyle advice to reduce strain (lighting, breaks, posture).
- Referral for further ocular treatment if a serious condition is detected.
