How do I prepare for an optometrist eye test
for glasses?

• If you have prescription glasses, bring them with
  you to your optometrist visit, even if you
  purchased them from Optical Superstore, or they
  are broken. Optometrists find it useful to read
  your current prescription as a starting point for
  evaluating your vision and help determine which
  lens type may best suit your lifestyle and
  prescription needs.

How Do I Prepare For An Optometrist Eye
Test If I Wear Contact Lenses?

• If you wear contact lenses and are having an
  eye test, remove them two hours before your
  optometrist appointment. If youre having a
  contact lens exam, wear your contact lenses as
  usual so your optometrist can check your vision
  and the fit of your lenses. If you have worn
  contact lenses previously, bring the box they
  came in or the prescription. This will help the
  optometrist evaluate your eye care needs. If you
  wear prescription glasses and contact lenses,
  bring both.

Medicare information

• For most Australians an eye test with an
  optometrist is paid for by Medicare, so please
  bring your Medicare card. If you have Private
  Health Insurance, please bring your health
  insurance card for claiming prescription glasses
  or spectacles or prescription contact lenses.
