Professional Eye Test by Our Optometry Team

If you are searching for an optometrist in Kathmandu, professional eye test, glasses power check or a comprehensive vision assessment, Vision Concern provides optometry-based eye examinations through its Lazimpat, Boudha-Tushal and Makalbari branches.

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.

What Is a Comprehensive Eye Examination?

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.

What May Be Included in an Eye Examination?

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

Who Should Have an Eye Test?

  • Children with difficulty seeing the board or frequent squinting
  • Students with headaches or visual difficulty
  • Adults noticing blurry distance or near vision
  • People whose glasses prescription may have changed
  • Computer and screen users with eye strain
  • Adults over 40 developing near-vision difficulty
  • Contact-lens users needing prescription or fitting review
  • Senior citizens requiring routine vision assessment
  • Tourists or expats needing prescription verification

Eye Test for Blurry Vision

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.

Eye Checkup for Headaches & Eye Strain

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.

Eye Test for Children

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.

Eye Examination for Adults Over 40

As people move into their 40s, near-vision difficulty commonly increases. Reading small print, using a phone or shifting focus between distance and near may become less comfortable.

An eye examination can help determine whether reading glasses, bifocals, progressive lenses or another solution may be suitable.

Eye Test for Contact-Lens Wearers

Contact-lens wearers may need periodic review of prescription, comfort and lens suitability.

Vision Concern provides contact-lens consultation and guidance for selected daily, monthly, toric, multifocal and colour lenses according to prescription and availability.

Contact Lens Guide →

Eye Test for Computer Users

People working long hours on computers may experience eye strain, blurred vision, headaches or difficulty shifting focus.

An eye examination can help determine whether prescription correction, ergonomic changes or further assessment should be considered.

Eye Examination for Prescription Glasses

If you need new glasses, an up-to-date prescription is an important first step.

After the eye examination, Vision Concern can provide guidance on suitable prescription lenses, frames, progressive lenses, high-index lenses and other optical options according to your needs.

Progressive & Multifocal Lens Assessment
