Eyecare |
It is important to have regular Eye Examinations to ensure :
• |
That your eyes remain healthy |
• |
That the spectacles
or contact lenses that you are wearing give you comfortable
and clear vision. |
The Eye Examination
Your Eye examination will take approximately 25 minutes and will
be carried out by one of our qualified Optometrists who will be
pleased to answer any questions that you might have.
At the start of the examination the Optometrist will discuss with
you:
• |
Any concerns that you may have concerning
your eyes or your vision |
• |
Your visual needs in relation to work, hobbies and lifestyle |
During the examination the Optometrist will determine the general
condition of your eyes. A full range of tests and procedures will
be carried out which will include the following:-
| • |
The examination of both the interior
and exterior of the eye and the lids
|
| • |
If you are over the age of 40 the
pressure inside the eye will be examined
|
| • |
Where necessary your field of vision
will be checked
|
| • |
Your standard of vision both without
spectacles and with any existing spectacles will be measured
|
| • |
Using a combination of instruments
and lenses we will determine if an optical prescription is
required
|
| • |
This result will be refined by asking
you which lenses give you the best standard of vision
|
| • |
The way in which your eyes work together
will be assessed |
At the end of the examination when all the relevant tests have
been completed the Optometrist will: -
| • |
Explain the results of the examination
and advise you on whether or not a new or changed prescription
is required.
|
| • |
Advise you on appropriate spectacle
and contact lenses for your individual requirements
|
| • |
Recommend when you should have your
next examination
|
| • |
Answer any questions you may have
|
| • |
Issue you with a prescription for spectacles
if these are required. |
Our professional care does not finish at the end of the eye examination

ways we can satisfy your optical requirements according to
you lifestyle. This will include, not only, differing designs
