Before
you order your glasses you will
need a copy of your prescription.
You may already have a copy
from a previous eye test, and
providing it is less than two
years old, you may use that
one to order from us. If you
have had a recent test but don't
have a copy of the prescription,
you can contact your optometrist
and request they send you a copy.
Alternatively, you will
need to go to your local optician
and have your eyes tested. Eyesight
testing is generally bulk billed
by Medicare and will not cost you
any money. Following the eye test,
your optician is obliged to give
you a copy of your prescription,
and you shouldn't feel under pressure
to purchase glasses from that same
shop. Also, you should check that they have completed the PD (the distance between your eye centres) section of the prescription form, (a step often skipped) to ensure your new glasses are made exactly to suit you.
