Eye examinations are an important health check that should be carried out at regular intervals.
For adults this usually means every two years, and for children between six months to two years, dependant on the child.
Not only do our optometrists check your vision, they also check the health of your eye. During this examination such conditions as cataracts, high blood pressure, Diabetes and Glaucoma can be detected. Your ocular history will be discussed at the beginning of the exam to determine any problems you may be experiencing.

Each individual has unique optical needs, so it is important that changes to your sight are corrected and spectacles supplied if needed.
Your Optician will be happy to explain these changes or answer your questions in terms easy to understand.

Finally a copy of your prescription will be given to you and spectacles recommended if beneficial.
With a large range of spectacle frames available including designer labels, spectacles are now a fashion statement as well as a practical tool.

Lenses are also following this trend and you can now have them made thinner or lighter; anti reflection coated to give a better cosmetic appearance and help against glare.
For those in need of a prescription for distance and reading there is the alternative to the bifocal where you can see the reading portion – Varifocals. These give your distance correction through intermediate to reading without any line or circle.
Lenses can also be supplied that change colour in the sun.
Depending on your prescriptive needs, the choice is yours…
