Eye examination and health screening

When you come to us for an eye examination, we won’t just be checking to see if you need glasses. Health screening is an essential part of, and an important reason for, regular eye tests – even if you feel well and your vision is perfect.

Our highly qualified optometrists place great importance on clinical eye care and use a wide range of techniques, employing the latest equipment - including optical coherence tomography (OCT) - to perform a thorough investigation of your eyes.

Early detection

Many eye problems can be helped if they are found early enough, for instance –

  • Macular degeneration
  • Glaucoma
  • Retinal detachment

Health screening

Few people are aware that diseases in other areas of the body can first be detected by examining the eyes.

These include –
  • Diabetes
  • High blood pressure
  • Heart and circulatory problems
  • High cholesterol
  • Nervous system diseases
  • Immune system diseases
This is one of the reasons the NHS recommends that adults and children should have eye examinations every two years. In some circumstances we may recommend more frequent eye tests.
