Interactive vision screening
Follow the instructions carefully. This interactive test uses a directional E symbol to explore how well you can identify its orientation. It is not a calibrated clinical visual acuity test.
Vision Screening Test
Set up your test to begin.
Before you begin
For the most consistent experience:
- Use a desktop, laptop or mobile device in a well-lit room.
- Keep your screen at a comfortable viewing distance.
- Wear your usual glasses or contact lenses if you normally use them.
- Test one eye at a time, covering the other eye without applying pressure.
- Do not zoom the page or change your screen scaling during the test.
Which eye would you like to test first?
Identify the direction
Cover your other eye. Identify the direction in which the open side of the E is pointing.
Which direction is the E pointing?

Frequently asked questions
Can this online eye test tell me my glasses prescription?
No. It is a preliminary, uncalibrated screening and cannot calculate a glasses or contact lens prescription. An optometrist can perform the appropriate clinical tests.
Does a good result mean my eyes are healthy?
No. Some eye conditions may not cause noticeable symptoms in their early stages. A screening result cannot rule out eye disease.
Why should I test each eye separately?
One eye may see differently from the other. Testing each eye separately can help you notice differences that may otherwise go unnoticed.
When should I have a professional eye examination?
Arrange an examination if you have persistent blurred vision, headaches associated with visual tasks, difficulty reading, changes in night vision or concerns about your eyesight.
What if my vision suddenly becomes blurry?
Sudden vision changes, particularly sudden loss of vision, severe pain or new double vision, require urgent medical assessment. Do not rely on this online test.
Is my appointment confirmed when I submit the form?
No. The form opens a prepared email. You must send the email, and the practice must respond to confirm availability.
