Online Eye Test: Check Your Vision for Free

Our free online eye test is a simple and convenient way to check your vision from the comfort of your own home. It’s designed to help you quickly screen for common issues, like blurry vision, difficulty seeing in low light, or issues with seeing colour.

We use advanced technology to simulate the key parts of an in-person eye test, such as:

• Visual Acuity: See how clearly you can read letters or symbols.

• Contrast Vision: Tests your ability to distinguish between different shades, especially in low-light conditions.

• Colour Vision: Identifies any issues with recognising certain colours, such as red-green colour blindness.

• Astigmatism: Checks for irregularities in the shape of your eye that could cause blurred vision.

• Visual Field: Helps screen for potential problems with your peripheral vision.

Note: This test is not a replacement for a professional eye exam. Whether or not the results indicate any concerns, we recommend scheduling a full eye test with one of our Optometrists

An online eye test is ideal if you:

• Are curious about your vision and want a simple way to check your eyes.

An online eye test is not suitable if you:

• Are under 18 years old (children’s vision is still developing and requires special testing).

• Have existing eye conditions, such as cataracts, macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy.

• Are experiencing sudden vision changes, such as blurred vision, eye pain, or sudden loss of vision. If you have noticed any of these symptoms, please seek professional care.

1. Start the Test: Click on the "Start your online eye test" button to begin. The test will guide you through each section.

2. Test Each Vision Aspect: You'll be asked to assess your vision in five key areas, including visual acuity, contrast, colour vision, astigmatism, and visual field.

3. What You’ll Need:

• Computer or Smartphone: You can take the test on either device.

• Good Lighting: Ensure you're in a well-lit room for the best results.

• Clear Screen View: Position your device to clearly see the images or symbols for each test.

4. View Your Results: After completing the test, you’ll receive a summary of your vision and recommended next steps based on your results.

What Happens Next: You can view your results immediately after taking the test. If the test suggests any issues, you will be advised to book a full eye exam with one of our professional optometrists to verify your results and get a professional diagnosis.

If your online vision test results suggest any potential issues with your sight, it’s essential to book in for an in-person eye exam. While this screening is a great way to detect early signs of vision problems, only a professional exam can give you an accurate diagnosis and recommend a treatment plan, such as prescription glasses or contact lenses.
