About Eyecare
As Optometrist we have come a long way from where our profession started – testing vision and dispensing optical correction. We are proud of the qualifications we have earned, the technology we have invested in and the clinical and professional services we can supply.
An eye examination for a child is sometimes different to one designed for an adult, including images rather than letters means it does not matter if you child cannot yet read. Using certain pieces of equipment, such as the retinoscope, in the testing room ensures an accurate prescription is found as well as checking the overall health and development of the eyes.

Visiting us for an eye exam on your first visit or during a check-up, you will be guaranteed to receive the best possible treatment throughout the process.
It is essential to have frequent eye exams that can help identify vision change and possible health issues, including glaucoma, diabetes, or high blood pressure, at an early stage. We have optometrists who take time to explain each component of the exam to the patients so that they know their results and follow-up.

We have NHS-funded and private appointments, which will provide you with choice and flexibility. Our own eye examinations consist of elaborate tests with the help of the latest diagnostic facilities to provide the ultimate peace of mind.

Early eye examination aids in making sure that there is the correct development of vision and that there is confidence in learning.
