Eye Examinations
Eye examinations are essential for maintaining long-term vision and overall eye health. Our experienced team provides thorough, unrushed assessments that go far beyond standard visual acuity tests. We take the time to understand each patient’s ocular history, lifestyle, and specific concerns, using advanced diagnostic equipment to deliver truly personalised care.
Our Approach
By tailoring each examination, we’re able to detect potential eye conditions early giving us a greater opportunity to intervene and discuss suitable management options. The result is a more accurate, in-depth evaluation that supports long-term eye health and peace of mind.
With our commitment to detail and accuracy, you can feel confident that your eyes are in expert hands
Types of eye examination
At our practice, we offer both private and NHS eye examinations, suitable for patients of all ages. NHS eye exams focus primarily on basic vision correction and are typically recommended every two years, though the frequency can be increased depending on individual eye health needs. Our private eye examinations include greater flexibility, more advanced testing, and a tailored approach to care.
OCT and Visual Fields
An OCT scan provides a picture of the layers of your retina for our optometrist to map out their thickness and note any changes, as well as evaluate the health of your optic nerve. Visual field testing is our way of testing ‘out of the corner of your eye’ vision that we sometimes take for granted in our daily life. Both tests are used to help us understand your eye health and visual needs.
