From the moment you arrive, we take time to get to know you.

We begin with a few simple questions about your optical history and any medical details that may be relevant. This helps us build a clear picture of your needs before your examination begins.

Your appointment lasts around 40 minutes, and all pre-screening checks are carried out in the test room by one of our qualified optometrists. By keeping everything in one place, we ensure a smooth, comfortable experience from start to finish.

Comprehensive eyecare as standard

Every patient receives a full sight test that includes refraction, visual field testing and OCT as standard. We believe in giving everyone access to first-class eyecare, so the advanced technology you might expect to be an add-on elsewhere is simply part of the service with us.

Our OCT scanner allows us to look deeper beneath the surface of the eye, helping us detect early changes that may not yet be visible during a routine check. It’s a reassuring extra layer of care, offering you greater insight into your eye health.

Throughout your examination, we explain each step clearly, making sure you understand what we are doing and why. Our aim is for every patient to leave feeling confident and well-informed.

Supporting your comfort and long-term eye health

Dry eye symptoms are assessed during your test, as they are a common concern for many patients. If we spot signs of dryness or irritation, we will guide you through simple solutions to keep your eyes comfortable.

We also provide ongoing care for conditions such as glaucoma and cataracts. Working closely with local GPs and hospitals, we help monitor these conditions in the community, giving you continuity of care from people you know and trust.
