Vision
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.
Comprehensive Eye Examinations
Eye Tests in Gateshead
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.
Health
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.
Screening
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

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.
