Private Eye Care

Your eyes deserve expert attention. Our private eyeexamination is a full health check for your eyes, designed to protect not only your sight but your general wellbeing too. Eye exams can detect more than just changes in your vision -they also reveal early signs of wider health issues such as diabetes and high blood pressure.This is why we take the time to do things properly. Using advanced technology and expert knowledge, we assess your eye health with precision and care, so you can feel confident your eyes are in safe hands.

Your private eye examination includes a wide range of additional checks that many other opticians simply don’t
offer as part of their routine service.

These could include:

  • Dry Eye Assessments
  • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Scan
  • Optos Ultra Wide Field Scan
  • Humphrey Field Analyser: Visual Field Test

At Monnow Eyecare we believe that thorough care should
always come as standard.

Children’s Eye Care

A child won’t always tell you if they can’t see properly. That’s why it is so important to get them regularly checked with an
optometrist.

‍

Our team at Monnow Eyecare are trained to see children of all needs and are always happy to adapt their approach to
ensure that their patients are comfortable.

‍

With Myopia (Short sightedness) becoming increasingly prevalent worldwide, early diagnosis by one of our
optometrists could be your child’s best chance at managing symptoms and reducing impact on their eye sight for life.

‍

We offer various sight management options for our young patients, including Ortho-k, soft contact lenses and
specialised spectacle lenses to slow down the progression of
myopia and monitor their eye health as they grow.
