FAQs

For more in-depth guidance, you can easily book a consultation with our team, and we’ll be happy to provide answers and recommendations tailored to your eye care needs.

What are the most common signs that I may need an eye exam?

If you experience blurry vision, headaches, difficulty focusing, eye strain, or frequent squinting, it may be time for an eye exam.

What can I expect during a comprehensive eye examination?

A full exam includes tests for visual acuity, eye movement, and coordination, as well as checking for diseases like glaucoma or macular degeneration. The optometrist may also examine your retina with imaging technology.

Can my general health affect my vision?

Yes, conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and even certain medications can impact your eye health, potentially leading to vision problems or diseases.

How often should I get my eyes checked to maintain optimal eye health?

It’s recommended to have an eye exam every one to two years, but your frequency may vary based on age, vision problems, or existing health conditions. At Hawkes & Wainer, we offer an Annual Care Plan, a unique scheme that provides a complete care program for your eyes and lenses. This plan covers essential aftercare visits, replacement lenses, and spares at a considerably reduced cost, ensuring your vision stays protected year-round.

How can I protect my eyes from digital screen strain?

Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Additionally, ensure your screen is at a comfortable distance and proper lighting. You can further protect your eyes with blue-light filtering glasses, which we can expertly pick for you at Hawkes & Wainer to reduce strain and enhance comfort during screen time.

"I had a thoroughly enjoyable experience today, and was reminded during fitting that my first visit to Hawkes and Wainer in Fenchurch Street was in 1985, nearly 40 years ago (40 next year). The team at your company have always been wonderful. Thank you again and kind regards"
