Eye Care

Enjoy long-lasting, healthier and clearer vision

Why is eye care so important?

Your eyesight is one of your most valuable senses, and routine eye tests are essential for maintaining its health. These exams go beyond measuring your ability to see clearly—they play a key role in detecting early signs of eye conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Since many eye diseases develop gradually without noticeable symptoms, regular check-ups are crucial for early detection and treatment.

An eye exam can also uncover signs of wider health concerns, including diabetes and high blood pressure, as these conditions sometimes manifest in the eyes before other symptoms appear. Prioritising eye care helps support your daily activities, whether it’s reading, driving, working, or enjoying hobbies.

At our practice, we offer thorough and professional eye tests to assess your vision, eye health, and overall wellbeing. Whether you’re due for a routine check-up or have concerns about your eyesight, our expert team is here to provide personalised care.

What happens during my eye test?

At our practice, your vision and eye health are our top priorities. Our comprehensive eye examinations integrate state-of-the-art technology to provide the most precise and thorough assessment of your eyesight.

What to Expect During Your Eye Test

  • Personalized Consultation – We start by discussing your vision needs, medical history, and lifestyle to tailor the examination to you.
  • Visual Acuity Testing – Using high-resolution digital charts, we evaluate how well you see at various distances.
  • Refraction Analysis – Retinoscopy allows us to assess your prescription by observing how light reflects off your retina, helping determine the correct lens strength for glasses or contact lenses.
  • Ocular Health Assessment – With the help of cutting-edge imaging tools, including slit lamp technology, we examine the health of your eyes to detect early signs of conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, or macular degeneration.
  • Eye Pressure Test – Non-contact tonometry provides a gentle and precise measure of eye pressure to screen for glaucoma.
  • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) – This advanced imaging technique uses light waves to create highly detailed cross-sectional images of the retina, enabling early detection of conditions like macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma.

By incorporating the latest advancements in eye care technology, we deliver a thorough evaluation of your vision and overall eye health, helping you achieve optimal clarity and comfort.

How frequent should I have my eyes tested?

Regular eye exams are essential for maintaining good vision and overall eye health. Adults with no vision issues should have a comprehensive eye exam at least every two years. However, if you wear glasses or contact lenses, have existing eye conditions, or are at higher risk due to age or health factors (such as diabetes or high blood pressure), annual exams—or more frequent visits—are recommended.

Children should have their first eye exam before starting school, usually around age 3 to 5. If there are signs of vision problems—such as eye misalignment, frequent squinting, or hereditary vision disorders —an earlier evaluation is crucial for healthy visual development.

Routine eye exams do more than check vision. They can also detect early signs of serious health issues like diabetes, high blood pressure, and even some neurological conditions. By keeping up with regular eye care, you’re not just protecting your sight—you’re supporting your overall health and well-being.
