Eye Exams
Vision & Health Care
Regular eye examinations are important for all ages. Each eye exam is performed to understand individual requirements, assessing your prescription carefully to ensure best possible vision. All our exam rooms are equipped with state of the art advanced diagnostic OCT technology for both monitoring and diagnosis.
Exams are usually every two years although for youngsters and certain eye conditions more frequent examinations may be advised. Eye exams can also help to identify conditions such as glaucoma and diabetes at an early stage allowing them to be more effectively treated.
Our experienced qualified optometrists take a comprehensive medical history, and details of any symptoms as some eye conditions are related to health, lifestyle, and hereditary factors.
In children, it is essential to diagnose sight problems early to prevent learning and development problems. If you already wear glasses or contact lenses please remember to bring them with you, the optometrist may ask you to wear them during a test. Please also bring any details of medication that you may currently be taking or have recently taken.
Advanced diagnostics - Retinal screening
OCT Technology
All Ellis and Killpartrick exam rooms are equipped with Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT) devices providing the clinician with detailed information about the back of the eye retinal structure and measuring retinal layer thickness. This advanced diagnostic technology is invaluable to screen for monitoring and earlier detection of eye conditions which can effect vision.
Retinal screening is provided at a supplementary charge to NHS patients.
