Thorough eye examination
We believe in taking our time with our patients and never rushing during an eye examination, hence all our examinations take at least 45 minutes (as opposed to the rushed 20 minutes eye test offered by most chains). Patients over the age of 70 or under the age of 7 automatically get a 1 hour slot.
This allows a thorough eye examination, including a photo of the retina (fundus picture) at no additional cost. Our highly experienced optometrists are known for being very patient and understanding so please feel free to ask them any questions you may have.
An optional OCT scan can also be requested at an additional cost. Please see here for more information.
How often should you have an eye test?
As NHS registered opticians, we strongly advise you to have an eye test at least once every two years.
