Just over a quarter of people have reported feeling uncomfortable during an eye exam in a study conducted by Mainline Instruments.

Following a survey of 956 people, Mainline said around 26% found the eye exam uncomfortable at times, while 5% felt uneasy during the test.

Half the patients named the ‘air puff’ test as the most uncomfortable procedure, with people getting up close and in their personal space disturbing 26% of participants.
