Your eye test

What to expect at your appointment

  1. We listen first

    Your vision, your health, your medications and how you use your eyes every day.

  2. We check your vision

    How clearly each eye sees, and whether glasses or a new prescription would help.

  3. We check your eye health

    The front and back of each eye, including the pressure check used to screen for glaucoma.

  4. We take retinal photos

    Included at no extra charge, so we can compare at every future visit. Visual fields are added when you need them.

  5. We explain everything

    Your results in plain language, and your options. There is no pressure to buy.
