We provide a full range of eye examinations, from standard vision checks to more specialised testing. Our optometrists can assess your prescription for glasses or contact lenses, check for glaucoma and eye pressure, diagnose cataracts and macular degeneration, and monitor conditions such as diabetic retinopathy. Each eye test appointment is tailored to your needs.

During your eye exam, your optometrist will carry out tests to check the health of your eyes and your vision clarity. They’ll explain each step in plain, easy-to-understand language. Afterwards, you’ll receive a clear summary of your results, whether you need new glasses or contact lenses, and when further eyechecks are needed, or if a referral is recommended.

A comprehensive eye test takes approximately 30 minutes.

One of our many qualified and trained optometrists will be conducting your eye examination.

For most adults under 40, an eye test every year is recommended. Adults over 40 should aim for strictly every 1 year, as this is when your vision and eye health are susceptible to change, and if you are aged 65 and over, as it becomes even more important to stay on top of your eye health, you should definitely come in annually. As children rely so heavily on their vision to learn, they benefit from check-ups every 1 year (or sooner if there are concerns). If you have diabetes or a family history of eye disease, you should get tested at least every 12 months or more often as directed by your optometrist or eye specialist.

If you’re experiencing headaches, blurred vision, difficulty focusing, trouble seeing at night or eye strain when reading or using screens and digital devices, it’s time to book an optometrist appointment. Even without symptoms, regular eye tests are important for preventive care. Most vision problems occur without someone even knowing, so it is important to ensure you get tested regularly.
