Routine eye examinations are not only important in checking your vision and the health of the eyes, but can also give us warning signs as to any other problems within the body such as high blood pressure and diabetes.

We had some general concerns about our 4 year old daughters sight so we booked into Coles for her first appointment. The whole experience was amazing, my daughter was not at all phased and really found it interesting. She watched me have my eyes tested first and then happily sat in the chair and looked at the pictures. She enjoyed trying on the 'funny glasses'. It was clear she needed glasses and surprisingly cataracts were also detected. So glad we didn't delay the check. We went back for another test today and picked up two new pairs of glasses the same day (general and prescription sun glasses!). Couldn't recommend a better place for getting your kids eyes tested. So friendly and efficient.
