Eye Examination
Our service
Our fully qualified optometrists will conduct a thorough eye examination to establish the standard of your eyesight and the health of your eyes. We’ll look for early signs of cataracts, glaucoma and other conditions. Problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure and vascular disease can also be detected, as the eye can give clues to general health as well as eye conditions.
The optometrist will advise you if any vision correction will be needed, or whether a new prescription is required. You will be given a written report, if necessary a prescription, and advised when your next Eye Examination will be due. If signs of any condition or general health problem are detected, we may carry out additional examinations, which may lead to a referral to your doctor or an ophthalmologist for further investigation.
You may find that you are entitled to a free National Health Service Eye Examination. Many groups of people (such as under 16s, under 19s in full time education and over 60s) are entitled to a free Eye Examination under the NHS, if not the cost is £28.
