    Yes, they cant detect other things, besides your sight, glaucoma for example.

    Yes-def go and get them tested. As other people have already said-they can pick up on other health problems other then poor eye sight etc.

    In my opinion, eyesight is so precious.............it's just not worth taking a risk with your vision and health...........so it's essential to have regular (every two years) eye tests.;)

    Apart from anything else, our brains are wonderful at 'adapting' to things which happen gradually, so you could have a problem that you're just not aware of.

    Yes. How do you know you don't have anything wrong with your eyes if you don't get them tested? I only knew I needed glasses cos I tried on someone else's and I could see loads better through them...
