One or two? Which is clearer?
The phoropter at Osman's Optical Katlehong Crossing. Every eye test ends with this question.
One or two? Try it.
6/6. That is sharp. That was the easy part of a real test. The rest checks focus, eye teamwork, side vision and the health of the eye itself.
A demonstration, not a diagnosis. Screens cannot measure your eyes.
What happens in your eye test
About half an hour with an optometrist registered with the HPCSA. Nothing hurts, nothing is rushed, and you leave knowing exactly what your eyes need.
-
1
Case history
Your eyes, your health, your family history and how you use your eyes every day.
-
2
Visual acuity
How small you can read on the chart, far and near, one eye at a time.
-
3
Refraction
"One or two?" Lenses are swapped until the letters are as sharp as they get. That is your prescription.
-
4
Visual skills and fields
Focusing, eye teamwork, depth and colour, and how wide you see.
-
5
Eye health
A look inside the eye. At branches with a fundus camera we photograph the retina so changes can be compared next time.
Eye care for the whole family
All services- Eye examination Sharpness, focus, eye health and your prescription, checked in one visit.
- Contact lens fitting Measured for your eyes, your work and your day, with aftercare.
- Children's vision Early checks, because most childhood eye problems can be reversed when caught early.
- Driver's licence eye test The vision screening your licence renewal needs, with the certificate.
- Glaucoma screening Glaucoma steals side vision without pain. Screening finds it first.
- Low vision assessment When glasses are not enough: magnification and aids for daily life.
- Company screening We come to your workplace and test your team on site.
- School screening Vision screening for learners, done at the school.
See what they see
Pick a condition and drag the lens across. Outside the lens is how it looks; inside is what the right prescription, or an early diagnosis, gives back.
Short-sighted
Myopia. Near is clear, far is soft: road signs, the board at school, faces across a room.
An illustration to show why tests matter. It cannot diagnose anything.
The frames you came for
Gucci, Tom Ford, Prada, Versace and Ray-Ban beside Soviet, our wearable, affordable range. Try them on with an optometrist who knows what your prescription needs.
Smart glasses on pre-orderOakley Vanguard, Oakley Houston, Ray-Ban Wayfarer, Ray-Ban Scriber
Thinner lenses, explained
Move your prescription and watch the lens edge. The higher the lens index, the thinner the lens. Worked out with the lens maker's formula, not guessed.

A photograph of the back of your eye
Fundus photography records the retina, optic disc and macula, so changes from glaucoma, diabetes or a retinal detachment can be spotted and compared year on year. Corneal topographers map the front surface of the eye to diagnose and manage conditions like keratoconus.
Equipment differs by branch. Ask yours when you book.
