Thorough, unhurried eye examinations that protect your vision, detect eye health conditions early and give you clear guidance on the care you need, for every age.

What We Check

A Complete Look at Your Eyes

An eye test is far more than a check on your prescription. It is a health assessment that can reveal early signs of conditions affecting the eyes and the body as a whole.

Sight and Prescription Testing

We measure how clearly you see at near and far distances and determine whether glasses or contact lenses would improve your vision for reading, driving and daily tasks.

Retinal and Eye Health Checks

Using magnified imaging of the back of the eye, we look for changes to the retina, optic nerve and blood vessels that may signal glaucoma, cataract or diabetic eye disease.

Pressure and Field Screening

Eye pressure measurements and peripheral vision screening help us identify glaucoma at a stage when treatment is most effective at protecting your sight.

Your Visit

What Happens at Your Appointment

Your appointment begins with a conversation about your general health, your family history and any changes you have noticed in your vision. This helps us tailor the examination to you.

Next, we carry out tests of focus, eye movement, colour perception and depth perception, followed by a detailed examination of the front and back of your eyes.

  • Discussion of symptoms and medical history
  • Sight test for glasses or contact lens prescription
  • Eye health examination with pressure checks
  • Clear explanation of results and next steps

Every step is designed to be comfortable, clear and focused on your individual needs.

Step One

Welcome and History

We take time to understand your concerns, lifestyle and any eye conditions that run in your family.

Step Two

Sight testing and a detailed inspection of the eyes, including imaging where it helps us see the health of the retina.

Step Three

Results and Advice

We explain your findings in plain language, outline any treatment or monitoring, and agree the right follow-up together.

The team spotted an early change in my eye pressure that my previous practice had missed. They explained everything clearly and I felt genuinely looked after.
