Eye Tests
Whether you pay privately for your eye examination or are eligible for an NHS examination, you will receive the same high standard of care.
Not only will your eye examination ensure that your spectacle/contact lens prescription is up to date, but also the health of your eyes will be thoroughly checked. Conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, diabetes and macular degeneration can be detected. So regular checks are vital, even for those who don’t need to wear spectacles!
We constantly invest in new equipment and training to ensure we provide the best eyecare possible.
Large numbers of people who are entitled to free or subsidised tests or spectacles are not claiming them. Check with the list of eligible groups below and see if you are entitled to any help.
