Introduction

Feeling unsure before your first eye exam is completely normal. At SpecSMART Eye Clinic Ikeja, we aim to make your experience comfortable, informative, and reassuring. With advanced digital diagnostic equipment, experienced optometrists, and over 950 eyeglass frames in stock, we’ve helped thousands of Lagos residents start their eye care journey with confidence.
This guide walks you through exactly what to expect—so there are no surprises, just clear vision ahead.

What Happens When You Arrive?

From the moment you step in, our reception team ensures a smooth check-in—no registration fees required. If you wear glasses or contact lenses, bring them along. It's also helpful to share your medication list or any known eye issues.

First-time patient tip: If this is your first vision test, arrive 10 minutes early so you’re relaxed and ready.

Your Eye Test Begins with Digital Pre-Screening

We start with high-precision tests in our diagnostic suite, handled by one of our Eye Doctors. These may include:
- Autorefraction – Measures your basic prescription
- Tonometry – Tests your eye pressure (for glaucoma screening)
- OCT and fundus imaging – Provides detailed retinal scans
- Visual field analysis – Checks your peripheral vision

These results are passed to the senior optometrist to build a complete picture of your eye health.

Meet Your Senior Optometrist for a Full Examination

Our senior optometrists will conduct a personalised consultation. This includes:
- A discussion about your visual needs, lifestyle, and symptoms
- Further refraction to fine-tune your prescription
- Slit-lamp examination to assess eye health
- A breakdown of findings and custom care recommendations

We take the time to explain your results clearly, not just hand you a prescription.

Choosing Your Glasses or Contact Lenses

If corrective lenses are needed, you’ll receive professional advice from our licensed opticians. At our Ikeja eyeglass clinic, we offer:
- Over 950 stylish frames for men, women, and kids
- A range of lens types: single vision, bifocal, varifocal,  and optional blue-light or photo-chromatic coatings. All our lenses come with anti-reflective and anti-scratch coatings.
