Eye Examinations

We offer private and NHS Eye Examinations, each tailored to the individual patient. With some practices now limiting their NHS care we are proud to make our care available to all, you can supplement your NHS examination with other services if you choose to do so.

Each examination, whether private or NHS, takes between thirty and forty five minutes and is conducted by your Optometrist assisted by our trained optical assistants using a combination of traditional methods and the very latest equipment, to give you the best possible vision for all your requirements and ensure the health of your eyes. Our optometrists each have only a small number of appointments per day, ensuring that each patient can receive the individual time and care they need.

The Eye Examination can include a wide variety of tests, including:

• An assessment of visual acuity
• Binocular vision measurement
• Eye health checks by direct and indirect ophthalmoscopy
• Objective and subjective refractions
• Visual field examination
• Eye pressure measurement
• Pupil dilation with drops
• Colour vision testing
• Stereopsis and tests for macular function.

All of our eye examinations are carried out by a fully qualified optometrist
