Private Eye Examination

Your eyes deserve expert attention. Our private eye examination 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.

Eye conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy often show no symptoms in the early stages. But with early diagnosis, they can be managed effectively.

Our optometrists are specially trained to spot the signs early and guide you with the right support, treatments or onward referrals when needed. For some of our patients, this early action has even saved their sight.

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:

We believe that thorough care should always come as standard.

Our high-resolution retinal imaging, using Topcon Triton OCT & DNEye Scanner, creates a detailed photographic record of the inside of your eye. This allows our optometrists to monitor your eye health with accuracy over time, by comparing images from each visit. All included at no extra cost.

These images are securely stored in your clinical records, making follow-ups and ongoing care seamless. It’s technology that helps us see more, so you can worry less.
