Eye Test & Glasses: Everything You Need to Know

Getting an eye test in Bhubaneswar is one of the simplest things you can do for your long-term health — yet most people skip it for years. At Eyemira, we believe an accurate eye test is the foundation of great eyewear. This blog covers everything from what happens during a test to how to pick the perfect glasses afterwards.

Why Getting an Eye Test Matters

Your eyes change — sometimes gradually, sometimes quickly — and those changes don’t always come with obvious warning signs. An eye vision test in Bhubaneswar at Eyemira doesn’t just check how well you see. It screens for conditions like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration that, if caught early, can be managed or treated effectively.

And the best part? Our free eye checkup near me  available at both our Infocity and DN Regalia Mall locations  costs you nothing.

What to Expect During Your Eye Test

Step 1: Consultation — Our optometrist will ask about your medical history, screen usage, and any visual complaints.

Step 2: Visual Acuity Test — You’ll read letters from a chart to measure your sharpness of vision at different distances.

Step 3: Refraction Assessment — Using a phoropter (the large instrument with rotating lenses), your exact prescription is calculated.

Step 4: Slit-Lamp Exam — A detailed look at the front structures of your eye, including the cornea, iris, and lens.

Step 5: Prescription & Recommendation — You’ll receive your prescription and personalised advice on the best lens type for your needs.

Decoding Your Glasses Prescription

Your prescription will show:

OD / OS — Right eye (Oculus Dexter) and Left eye (Oculus Sinister)

SPH (Sphere) — Your basic power. Negative = short-sighted; Positive = long-sighted

CYL (Cylinder) + Axis — Astigmatism correction details

ADD — Additional near power, required for progressive or bifocal lenses

Our team at Eyemira — your trusted optical in Bhubaneswar  will walk you through every number so you understand exactly what your eyes need.
