Ik draag al heel lang lenzen, maar op advies toch maar eens in een winkel kijken voor een bril erbij. Dat werd dus de Ace&Tate. Op voorhand niet denkende dat ik een bril zou vinden waarmee ik blij zou zijn, maar met de uitgebreide hulp van Florian is dit toch wel gelukt! Zeker een aanrader om heen te gaan!

Both the optometrist and the sales person were really friendly and professional. I made an online appointment, came for the test a bit early, no line whatsoever, very friendly and precise help. Also very clear advice. Same with the glasses sales person, let me browse, helped when I asked for it, and her advice was immediately spot on! Never expected that getting my first pair of glasses would be such a breeze.

Let me tell you about my experience with Ace&Tate. I did afspraak online, I arrived on time for a free eye test, the very friendly optometrist checked my eyesight, we discussed my vision results and he sent them to the point at the front of the store. Then I chose the frames, two nice girls advised me what I should choose. What was important for me was that everyone spoke English and was very patient :-) after a few days the glasses were ready for collection, for me everything was perfect from A to Z.

Ace & Tate in Utrecht is een verademing naast het assortiment van de meeste traditionele opticiens. Het assortiment is hip, vrolijk maar ook stijlvol waardoor het een feestje wordt om een (lees)bril uit te zoeken en te dragen;-) Gedegen meting en gekwalificeerd (en gezellig en behulpzaam) personeel hebben ervoor gezorgd dat ik een zeer tevreden klant ben! Een absolute aanrader dus.

What happens during an eye test?
Our optician will ask you a few screening questions, after which they will proceed to measure each of your eyes in order to determine your prescription.
ET LP 1
You will be reading letters from a screen, distinguishing between colours, blinking a lot and looking at images.
It’s a very relaxed and informative process.
ET LP 2
All while using top industry equipment of the highest quality. It’s all quite exciting when you think about it.
ET LP 3
After your free appointment is done, you will immediately receive your prescription and you’re ready to choose your new glasses.

Over 40?
After you turn 40 years old, your eyesight starts to change more rapidly. Keep track of your prescription and make sure to test your eyes regularly – even once a year.

Frequently Asked Questions

It's a comprehensive eye health screening for non-symptomatic eye disease (not just an assessment of your vision) completed using state-of-the-art technology.

NB: this is not for contact lens prescriptions or related problems.

The ultimate purpose of an eye test is to assess your eyes for common refractive errors (or vision conditions), including:

  • Myopia: Difficulty in seeing objects at a distance

  • Hyperopia: Difficulty in seeing objects up close

  • Astigmatism: Distorted vision due to irregular curvature of the cornea

  • Presbyopia: Difficulty reading at arm's length

Once we have completed the test we will advise on how much correction is needed in your lenses. These corrections are represented by a series of numbers which make up your prescription.

We recommend having your eyes tested every two years, even if they feel 100%. Our eyes change with time, so it’s important you know what’s going on with yours. If you are experiencing any discomfort or you suspect your prescription might have change, book you eye test as soon as possible to eliminate any possible causes.

With us, eye tests are entirely free.
