This is a classic symptom of Astigmatism. It often occurs because the front surface of your eye (cornea) is shaped irregularly—more like a rugby ball than a football.

This irregular shape causes light to scatter rather than focusing on a single point on the retina, resulting in "starbursts" or streaks around lights. Our Astigmatism Diagnosis can confirm this quickly, and we can correct it with precision glasses or contact lenses.

"20/20" is a measurement of
standard Visual Acuity. It means you can see clearly at 20 feet what a person with normal vision should see at that distance.

If your vision is 20/40, it means you have to be 20 feet away to see what a normal person can see from 40 feet away (meaning your vision is not as sharp). Our digital acuity tests determine exactly where you stand and how to improve it.

Frequent headaches and eye strain are your body's way of telling you it is working too hard to focus. This is frequently caused by uncorrected Visual Acuity issues or slight Astigmatism. While you might be able to "force" your eyes to focus for short periods, it leads to fatigue. A comprehensive exam will determine if a prescription will relieve your headaches and sharpen your sight.

We generally advise receiving a complete eye exam annually, particularly if you have underlying conditions like diabetes or a family history of glaucoma or macular degeneration. Your specialist will recommend the precise schedule for follow-up care.

Absolutely. We utilize our fully equipped in-house lab to provide instant lens glazing and fitting for most standard prescriptions. This efficiency means many patients can complete their exam and leave with their new prescription glasses on the same day.

Our Optometrists are highly skilled doctors of optometry who conduct full eye exams, diagnose eye illnesses, prescribe lenses, and manage most eye diseases. For surgical needs (including Cataract
Surgery), we ensure seamless co management by liaising directly with our network of Consultant Ophthalmologists (Eye Doctors) for pre- and post-operative support.

The necessity of the 3D OCT scan is determined by your individual risk profile. It is an invaluable tool capable of detecting the earliest signs of structural damage related to glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, and macular degeneration, often years before vision symptoms appear. Your doctor will only recommend this sophisticated scan if it is essential for the most reliable diagnosis.

Please ensure you bring any existing glasses or contact lenses, a current list of all medications you are using, and your HMO identification (if relevant). If you are a new patient, arriving 10 minutes prior helps expedite your registration process.

A full comprehensive eye examination at SpecSMART Eye Clinic typically takes between 30 to 45 minutes. This ensures we have ample time to conduct both the visual acuity tests and the internal eye health evaluations without rushing you.

While traditional pupil dilation is sometimes necessary, our Ikoyi clinic is equipped with advanced 3D OCT and Digital Fundus cameras. This technology often allows our doctors to capture a complete, high-resolution view of your retina without the need for uncomfortable dilating drops.

Yes, please bring your current eyeglasses or contact lenses. It allows our optometrists to measure your current prescription and accurately determine how much your vision has changed.

In most cases, yes! Unless we specifically need to use dilating drops (which we will always discuss with you beforehand), your vision will not be impaired, and you can safely drive away.
