What happens
Much more than testing your vision
There are numerous methods to test that your eyes are working correctly, and our opticians select the tests most appropriate for you.
We start with a brief history of your vision and general health, your family's health and your work and lifestyle, so we can find the best solutions for you. Any problems you are experiencing with your vision are investigated and appropriate advice given.
The health of your eyes is thoroughly examined, and many medical conditions can be detected.
