EYE EXAMINATIONS

You should allow about an hour to get a thorough eye examination.

​

Tests are done to calculate how well the eyes work with each other in terms of their alignment and how they focus.

 

Vision is measured with any existing glasses and compared to the findings at the end of the test so patients understand how much difference a change in prescription could make.

​

At the eye of your eye test our Optometrist will discuss their findings with you and you will have the opportunity to ask any questions.

 

If spectacles or contact lenses are required, you will be handed over to our friendly and experienced dispensing team who will guide you through the range of options available to you.

The eye test results are clearly explained and any queries fully answered

ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY

We routinely measure the pressure of the eyes and also assess the visual field – both help test for Glaucoma.

​

Also we can photograph the back of the eyes with our state-of the art OCT machine to allow our optometrist a more in depth view of the layers of the retina.

​

We also use an optomap ultra-wide digital retinal imagery to capture more than 80% of your retina in one image for earlier detection of eye diseases.
