Standard Eye Exam in St. Maria, Curaçao
Clear vision starts with a professional eye exam. At Mi Optica in St. Maria, Curaçao, our certified optometrists — trained in Europe and Cuba — conduct thorough standard eye exams to measure your current vision prescription and evaluate the overall health of your eyes. We recommend having your eyes examined every two years, even if you believe your vision has not changed. Many eye conditions develop gradually and without obvious symptoms, making regular exams essential for catching problems before they affect your quality of life.
request an appointmentDuring a standard eye exam at Mi Optica, our optometrists assess your visual acuity (how clearly you can see at various distances), the strength of any prescription lenses you currently wear or may require, and the general health of your eyes. Our team holds a broader and higher qualification than general opticians or contact lens specialists, meaning you benefit from a higher level of expertise with every visit. If an issue is detected during your standard exam, we may recommend a comprehensive eye exam or a Rodenstock Diagnostic scan for a more complete picture.
Standard eye exams at Mi Optica are accepted by SVB (since July 2017) and recognized by most employers and private insurance plans in Curaçao. A down payment of NAF 50 is requested at booking, which is credited toward any purchase made within 30 days. Call +5999-888 5858 to schedule your exam or book an appointment online.
