Regular eye examinations are important to maintain your continued optical comfort and health. The primary purpose of a consultation is to ensure the prescription meets the individual requirements of everyday life. The examination includes full screening of your eyes to provide a visual refraction, ocular pressures, fundus photography and visual field check. Additionally, we now incorporate a 3D Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT) camera.
Using a 3D Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT camera), our optometrist will take both a digital photograph and a three dimensional cross section scan of the back of your eye. Very similar to an Ultrasound scan, the OCT uses light rather than sound waves to illustrate the different layers that make up the back of your eye. We also capture a digital photograph of the surface of your eye to cross reference areas of concern. This highly advanced screening allows for better and more precise information regarding early signs of retinal disease and macular degeneration.
All our Optometrists are specially trained to provide eye examinations for patients with an acute eye problem that needs urgent attention. Instead of a visit to your GP or Hospital Eye Service, we can examine you promptly and recommend the most appropriate course of treatment.
