Regular eye exams do more than establish your prescription for glasses or contact lenses. Your eyes are an indicator of your overall health, so an optometrist is often the first person to identify chronic conditions such as glaucoma, diabetes and high blood pressure, often before you know they exist.
When you arrive for your Eye Examination we shall undertake a pre-screening assessment, including Retinal Imaging, Intra-ocular Pressure Testing and Visual Field Testing.
Our eye examinations, performed by an experienced Specialist Optometrist, reflect the high quality of our resources, our investment in the very best optometric technology available and the increased time required for the procedures involved. We dedicate a minimum of 45 – 60 minutes for each examination to include Optomap Ultra Widefield Imaging, Spectralis 4D OCT enhanced retinal scanning and dilation (if necessary), threshold fields and anterior eye imaging if appropriate.
During this time, you will go through a series of tests and scans which will help the clinician make informed diagnostic decisions and also provide a baseline for future monitoring and management. We recognise that in today’s modern world, technology plays a key role in the diagnosis, management and treatment of most conditions / diseases. Thus, we have spared no expense in equipping our practice with the latest and very best technology- an investment in excess of £200K.
