Our optometry team assesses visual acuity, refraction, spectacle prescription, near vision, visual comfort and appropriate eye-health concerns. When findings suggest a condition requiring medical diagnosis, treatment or surgery, suitable ophthalmology or hospital referral may be recommended.

A comprehensive eye examination is more than a simple glasses-power check. It evaluates how clearly you see, whether your prescription has changed, how your eyes work for distance and near vision, and whether any findings suggest the need for further assessment.
The exact examination depends on your age, symptoms, previous prescription, visual needs and clinical findings.
| Assessment | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Visual Acuity | Checks how clearly you see at distance and near |
| Refraction | Helps determine spectacle prescription |
| Near Vision | Assesses reading and close-work vision |
| Prescription Review | Compares current vision with existing glasses or prescription |
| Visual Comfort Assessment | Reviews symptoms such as eye strain, headaches or focusing difficulty |
| Eye-Health Screening | Checks for findings that may require additional medical assessment |
| Colour Vision Screening | Checks for red-green and other colour vision deficiencies on request |
A colour vision screening can be added to your comprehensive eye examination on request — useful if you've never been tested, or if a job, driving licence or study programme requires proof of normal colour vision. Read more in our guide to colour blindness testing.
For patients who want a lens-based aid rather than (or alongside) diagnosis, Vision Concern also stocks the X-Chrom colour vision filter lens (NPR 8,500 per lens) — a specialist filter lens that can help some people distinguish colours on standard tests. It does not cure colour blindness and is issued only after a professional assessment confirms it's appropriate.

Blurred vision can result from refractive error, changes in prescription, dry-eye-related discomfort, contact-lens issues and other eye conditions.
A professional eye examination can help determine whether updated glasses or further assessment should be considered.
Frequent headaches, tired eyes or difficulty focusing may sometimes be associated with uncorrected prescription, prolonged near work or computer use.
A vision assessment can help determine whether prescription correction or further evaluation is appropriate.
Children may not always recognize or report poor vision. Warning signs can include squinting, sitting too close to screens, difficulty seeing the board, headaches or reduced interest in visually demanding schoolwork.
If these signs are present, a professional eye examination may be useful.

Comprehensive eye check-up in Kathmandu
A comprehensive eye examination evaluates more than spectacle power. At Vision Concern, the assessment is selected according to your symptoms, age, visual needs and clinical findings, with referral advised when further medical investigation is necessary.
Clinical content reviewed by: Samana Budhathoki, Master in Optometry (P.U.).
The comprehensive eye examination fee at Vision Concern is NPR 400. Any additional test or optical product is discussed separately before proceeding.
Timing varies with symptoms and the tests required. Allow enough time for history, refraction, clinical assessment and advice rather than planning around a fixed duration.
Yes. Bring current glasses, contact-lens packaging or specifications, previous prescriptions and relevant medical or eye reports when available.
Yes. Children can be assessed, and the examination is adapted to their age, communication and visual needs.
Yes. Sudden vision loss, severe eye pain, chemical injury or eye trauma requires urgent medical assessment and should not wait for a routine appointment.
Eye test to product fitting pathway
After the NPR 400 comprehensive examination, choose only the products clinically and optically appropriate for the measured prescription. Product prices are quoted separately and depend on brand, design, coating, frame and availability.
Available at Vision Concern Lazimpat near Radisson Hotel, Boudha-Tushal opposite KFC and Makalbari at Pragati Chowk near Sanopul. Parking is available at all branches. Product availability, preparation time and final price must be confirmed before ordering.
Examination and specialist-referral guidance
Vision Concern provides professional vision and eye-health assessment and explains when ophthalmology or surgical referral is appropriate. Surgery is not presented as an in-clinic procedure: the treating hospital or surgeon confirms diagnosis, eligibility, technique, risks, recovery instructions and surgical fees.
Assessment: History, visual acuity, refraction and anterior-eye examination help identify lens opacity and whether another cause may be affecting vision.
Procedure pathway: When cataract is suspected or affecting daily life, the patient is referred for ophthalmology review. A surgeon decides whether surgery is suitable and discusses the intraocular-lens plan.
Cost: Examination and any referral-related charges should be confirmed before the visit. Surgical cost varies by hospital, investigations and lens choice; Vision Concern does not publish an unverified surgery price.
Recovery: Recovery and medicine instructions come from the operating team. Urgent review is required for severe pain, sudden vision loss, increasing redness or other symptoms specified by the surgeon.
Assessment: Risk history, eye-pressure measurement and optic-nerve assessment may indicate whether additional testing is needed. A single pressure reading cannot diagnose or exclude glaucoma.
Procedure pathway: Suspicious findings require appropriate ophthalmology assessment, which may include gonioscopy, visual-field testing, optic-nerve imaging or other investigations.
Cost: Confirm the current examination fee and the cost of any additional test or referral before proceeding. Prices depend on the investigations clinically required.
Recovery and follow-up: Screening itself needs no surgical recovery. Patients diagnosed with glaucoma need the follow-up schedule and treatment plan provided by their ophthalmologist.
Assessment: Stable prescription, corneal health, tear-film status, age, general eye health and realistic expectations are important. Not everyone who wants freedom from glasses is a safe LASIK candidate.
Procedure pathway: Vision Concern can perform a preliminary eye assessment and arrange referral. The refractive surgeon completes the required corneal measurements, confirms candidacy and chooses the appropriate procedure.
Cost: Surgical fees vary by provider, technology and required investigations. Obtain a written quotation from the treating surgical centre after eligibility testing.
Recovery: Follow the surgeon's medicine, eye-protection, activity and review instructions. Seek urgent care for severe pain, worsening redness or reduced vision.
Vision Concern provides eye examination, optical care and referral guidance. Surgical diagnosis, consent and treatment are completed by the appropriate ophthalmologist or surgical hospital.
A routine examination can identify risk or suspicious findings, but glaucoma diagnosis commonly requires specialist assessment and appropriate testing.
Costs vary by provider, investigations, procedure and lens or technology choice. Confirm a written quotation from the treating hospital; no unverified fixed surgical price is promised here.
Recovery differs by procedure and individual health. The operating surgeon must provide the personalised recovery and follow-up plan.
Bring current glasses, contact-lens details, previous prescriptions or reports, a medicine list and information about previous eye treatment.
Sudden loss of vision, severe eye pain, significant injury, marked light sensitivity, flashes with new floaters, or a painful red eye need prompt professional assessment.
