What does that do?

This is one of those "desert island" instruments for many optometrists and that is especially true in our practice. If I was limited to what instruments I could use, this one would be at the top of my short-list.

Meet the retinoscope.

French physician Ferdinand Monoyer is credited for it's origins in 1873 and it remains an important tool in optometry. Often bought as a kit with a direct ophthalmoscope, it is one of the first professional tools and optometrist buys while completing their qualifications.
It is used to understand how people focus and is often the starting point to work out what your distance prescription is. In addition, we use it a lot to understand how people focus at near and to understand what we can do to help make that better.
It is considered an "objective" measurement, meaning the optometrist gets data and information by looking without necessarily needing verbal feedback or confirmation from the patient (that is called "subjective" for reference).
This particularly useful in babies, children, or in situations where verbal communication is difficult. It allows the optometrist to move into a position that might suit people in wheelchairs or who are bedridden.
Again, like all optometry instruments they are not cheap, but they do tend to last your entire career. The only negative is trying to travel with it through airports without attracting some scrutiny...

Regular eye checks help pick up early changes in focus, tracking, or clarity so your child can stay comfortable and engaged in the classroom.

At Harmony Vision, we take a careful approach to understanding how young eyes are developing and support families with practical guidance that makes sense in real life.

What does that do?
Moving out of the consulting room this time and into our dispensing area to meet.... our pupillometer. Our optical team, Michelle and Alex are demonstrating how it is used. As the name suggests it is used to measure pupils.
Some pupillometers measure the size of your pupils. This one is used to measure how far apart your pupils are. This is known as the PD, or pupillary distance, and is another part of your spectacle prescription.
So it's not just the power of your lenses that is important. Where the centre of the lenses sit in front of your eyes is also very important and this device helps us work out that out. It's another part of how your glasses are made just for you.

At Harmony Vision, the approach goes beyond quick checks and looks deeper into how your eyes and visual system are working together, so the real issue can be identified and properly addressed.

Every plan is tailored to the individual, helping support clearer sight, better comfort, and improved visual performance in everyday life. If your vision has not been feeling quite right, now is the time to take it seriously and get it checked properly.

• Serious eye diseases such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy can be detected long before symptoms develop.

• The eyes are a window to your general health. The early signs of conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol can sometimes be identified through an eye examination.

• Your glasses or contact lens prescription can be kept accurate to support clear, comfortable vision.

• Digital eye strain, screen fatigue, and dry eye symptoms can be assessed and managed more effectively.

• Children’s visual development can be monitored to help identify problems that may affect learning and academic performance.

If it's been a while since your last eye exam, now is the perfect time to book an appointment and protect both your vision and your overall health.

Vision can shift slowly over time, and it is easy not to notice until reading feels harder, screens feel more tiring, or clarity just is not the same anymore.

Regular eye checks help pick up those small changes early so your vision stays comfortable and accurate for everyday life.

If it has been a while since your last assessment, now is a good time to get it checked and stay on top of your eye health. Come see us at our Varsity Lakes clinic to keep your vision clear and consistent.
