Specsavers Sight Check app

Specsavers has developed a sight checking and eye health advice app to help you understand the importance of your vision and eye health. It is not designed to replace a routine check-up by an optometrist, but it will explain and demonstrate some of the procedures involved in a professional eye test.

Most people should have an eye test at least every two years, and yet many do not. The Specsavers Sight Check app includes three easy-to-use eye checks - a reading test, a visual acuity test and a test for astigmatism - that can be completed in minutes. The results are presented as a percentage score along with a description of the findings, risk factors and what action you should take.

If the tests suggest that you might have a problem with your eyesight, you can then book a full professional exam at your local store.

Our app also allows you to search our database of questions about eye health and common sight-related problems, which have been answered by qualified optometrists.

Key features include:

• Individual checks for reading, visual acuity and astigmatism
• Questions to further assess the health of your eyes
• Recommendations according to your results
• Eye health questions and answers from qualified optometrists
• Store finder and appointment booking facility
