How do I prepare for an optometrist eye test
for glasses?
  • If you have prescription glasses, bring them with
    you to your optometrist visit, even if you
    purchased them from Optical Superstore, or they
    are broken. Optometrists find it useful to read
    your current prescription as a starting point for
    evaluating your vision and help determine which
    lens type may best suit your lifestyle and
    prescription needs.

How Do I Prepare For An Optometrist Eye
Test If I Wear Contact Lenses?
  • If you wear contact lenses and are having an
    eye test, remove them two hours before your
    optometrist appointment. If youre having a
    contact lens exam, wear your contact lenses as
    usual so your optometrist can check your vision
    and the fit of your lenses. If you have worn
    contact lenses previously, bring the box they
    came in or the prescription. This will help the
    optometrist evaluate your eye care needs. If you
    wear prescription glasses and contact lenses,
    bring both.

Medicare information
  • For most Australians an eye test with an
    optometrist is paid for by Medicare, so please
    bring your Medicare card. If you have Private
    Health Insurance, please bring your health
    insurance card for claiming prescription glasses
    or spectacles or prescription contact lenses.
