The exam that makes your eyewear actually fit. Every pair of Tipton glasses begins with a proper eye exam – mapped on a full Zeiss diagnostic suite, explained to you in person.

At Tipton, an eye exam is a full assessment of how your eyes actually work: refraction, retinal imaging, corneal mapping, dioptre measurement, a binocular vision check (prism dioptre) and 3D centration, run on our own Zeiss equipment by an in-house optometrist. It's the reason our glasses fit the way they do — and, as preventive healthcare, it's often the first place a patient learns their eyes are flagging diabetes, high blood pressure or early glaucoma. Available every week, in English and Hungarian, at no language surcharge.
Every exam is run on Zeiss equipment by our own optometrist, and every result is explained before you leave.
For a first pair of glasses, a prescription update or a yearly check. And for persistent eye strain, headaches or screen-related complaints you want looked into.
Every step of the Basic exam, plus early screening for diabetes, blood-pressure problems and thyroid disease.
Every step of the Deluxe exam, for corrections above 6 dioptres, with a binocular vision assessment (prism dioptre) and a tear test.
Most eye exams are done seated, yet you spend much of your day on your feet. So we measure you both ways.
Standing measurement is part of the Premium eye exam.

An in-house optometrist maps your eyes on our Zeiss suite and explains exactly what they find, in person and in plain language.

Try on our Vinylize, Masunaga and other frames, and pick the one you love — then we make up the matching Zeiss lenses to your fresh measurements.
Two professionals, two different checks. In short: an optometrist measures how sharply you see, an ophthalmologist checks how healthy your eyes are.
| OptometristWhat we do | OphthalmologistAt an eye clinic | |
|---|---|---|
| Where | An optical studio, like ours | An eye clinic or hospital |
| Checks | Visual acuity and refractive errors | Eye health and eye disease |
| Finds | Myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, presbyopia | Glaucoma, cataract, retinal changes |
| You get | An exact prescription for new glasses | A diagnosis and treatment, even surgery |
| When | Yearly, or when things look blurry | If it hurts, turns red or vision drops fast |
Our Deluxe and Premium exams add Zeiss retinal imaging without dilation, so we can spot early signs of diabetes or high blood pressure. A diagnosis comes from an ophthalmologist: if we see anything concerning, we tell you where to go.
With sudden vision loss, flashes or floaters, a painful or red eye, or after an eye injury, don't book an appointment with us and don't wait for it to pass on its own: see an ophthalmologist or go to emergency care right away.
Most opticians measure your sight with a single, quick, manual test. We map the whole eye: a full Zeiss diagnostic suite measures your refraction, your retina and your cornea, and carries out the centration.

A custom-built elevator raises the i.Profiler to your eye level, so wavefront and corneal topography are measured standing as well as seated — for patients up to 2.2 m tall.

A digital refraction unit that sets your dioptres precisely and comfortably — no trial frame, no contact.

A digitally controlled chart display with a wide range of high-quality optotypes and tests for binocular vision.

Builds a digital 3D model of your face to position each lens exactly, and powers a true-to-life virtual try-on of your frames.

High-resolution retinal imaging to catch changes at the back of the eye early — including the first signs of diabetes, high blood pressure or thyroid disease.

Wavefront measurement and corneal topography together, mapping the fine optical detail of each eye for a complete refractive profile.

A high-contrast slit lamp for a close, detailed look at the front of the eye, from broad overview down to the finest structures.

Precisely measures the single- and multifocal prescription of any spectacle lens — including the pair you already wear — as well as the UV filtering of sunglasses.
