CBR eye test in Gorinchem

When does the CBR ask for an eye examination?

• you are 75 or older and want to renew your licence;
• you reported an eye condition on your Health Declaration, such as glaucoma, cataract, a retinal condition or diabetic retinopathy;
• you have visual field loss, for example after a stroke;
• you see with one eye, or there is a large difference between your eyes;
• the CBR doubts your eyesight for another reason.

Where to find us in Gorinchem?

We hold consultations at care centre De Colvenier, Colvenierstraat 1b, 4205 JN Gorinchem. No need to check in at a desk: take a seat at the table in the central hall and the optometrist will collect you.

How it works

1. First fill in the Health Declaration with the CBR. The CBR tells you which examination is needed.
2. Make an appointment with us in Gorinchem.
3. The optometrist carries out the examination. Allow about half an hour; longer with a visual field test.
4. An ophthalmologist assesses the results and signs the report.
5. We make sure the report is suitable to submit to the CBR.

You can read the CBR vision requirements on our page about the CBR eye test.

What should you bring?

• Always your glasses and/or contact lenses, even if you only wear them sometimes or think you do not need them. We measure your vision with and without correction; without glasses the examination cannot be completed.
• Your ID.
• A current medication list.
• The letter or code you received from the CBR.
• Sunglasses.

Please note: you may be given eye drops. During this examination we may dilate your pupils with eye drops. Your vision will then be blurred for a few hours and you will be sensitive to light. You may not drive back yourself: arrange transport or come with someone who can drive for you. Bring sunglasses.
