Every appointment is with a qualified optometrist, in a quiet room, with time left over for questions. You leave with your prescription, whether you buy glasses from us or not.
Book an eye exam
01
Adults, once every two years (yearly over 60 or with diabetes).
The full check: how well you see near and far, how the eyes work together, eye pressure and a close look at the front and the back of the eye.
02
First-time wearers, or anyone whose lenses never felt right.
We measure the curve of the eye, choose a lens, teach you to put it in and take it out, and see you again a week later to check it on the eye.
03
From age three, or sooner if something seems off.
Pictures instead of letters for the little ones, a parent in the room and no rush. Many vision problems in children are easy to fix when found early.
04
Eyes that burn, water, feel gritty or tire on screens.
We look at the tear film and the eyelid glands, find out why the eyes dry out and write a plan you can keep at home.
05
Added to any exam. Recommended over 40 or with a family history of glaucoma.
A layered image of the retina, taken in seconds and without drops. We keep it on file, so next year there is something to compare against.
Every two years for most adults, every year for children, over-60s and anyone with diabetes or a family history of glaucoma. Sooner if your vision changes.
Your current glasses or contact lenses, a list of any medicines, and sunglasses if you have them: some tests leave you a little sensitive to light.
Yes. We only use drops when we need a wider look at the retina, and we tell you before we do.
No. Your prescription is yours. We hand it over at the end of every exam, wherever you choose to buy your frames.
Call or write a day before and we will move it. We do not charge for cancellations.
