Specialist Support for Low Vision and Diabetic Eye Care

We offer experienced advice for low vision patients, helping people make the most of the sight they have through practical guidance, suitable aids and clear information about the support available to them. Our approach is patient and personal, because every person living with reduced vision has different needs and goals.

We also offer diabetic retinal screening. Because diabetes can affect the small blood vessels at the back of the eye, regular screening is an important part of looking after your eye health. If you have diabetes, we can discuss screening with you and explain how it fits into your wider care.

Understanding Your Eye Tests

An eye test is more than a check for glasses. It is a chance for our optometrists to look closely at the health of your eyes, assess how well you see at different distances, and discuss anything you have noticed in your vision. Whether you are visiting us for the first time or returning for a routine check, we take the time to explain each stage so that you know what to expect and why it matters.

Regular eye tests can pick up changes early, which often makes them easier to manage. Our team will talk you through the results in plain language and advise on the next steps, whether that means a new prescription, a change in lifestyle habits, or a referral for further care. We want every patient in Gateshead to leave with a clear understanding of their eyesight.

Choosing the Right Glasses and Contact Lenses

Finding the right pair of glasses is about more than style. The lenses need to suit your prescription and the way you live, whether you spend long hours at a screen, drive regularly or enjoy outdoor activities. Our experienced team considers your comfort and your visual needs together, so that your new eyewear feels natural from the first time you wear it.

Contact lenses can offer freedom and convenience for many people, but they need the right fit and careful handling to stay comfortable and safe. We can advise on the options available, show you how to look after your lenses, and arrange follow-up checks so that your eyes remain healthy while you wear them.
