What Happens During an Eye Test?

During your eye examination, our optometrists will assess your visual acuity, prescription, focusing ability, eye coordination, and overall eye health. We take the time to discuss any symptoms you may be experiencing, including blurred vision, headaches, eye strain, difficulties with driving, or problems using digital devices.

Where appropriate, we may recommend additional diagnostic testing to gain a more detailed understanding of your eye health. This includes advanced OCT imaging, which can provide valuable insight into the health of the retina and optic nerve. While OCT scans are available as part of our comprehensive eye care services, our team will advise when this additional assessment may be beneficial.

Why Regular Eye Examinations Matter

Many eye conditions develop gradually and often show few or no symptoms in their early stages. Regular eye examinations allow us to monitor changes over time and identify potential concerns before they begin to affect your vision.

Routine eye tests can help detect signs of:

  • Glaucoma
  • Cataracts
  • Macular degeneration
  • Diabetic eye disease
  • Retinal abnormalities
  • Dry eye disease
  • Eye health changes associated with high blood pressure or diabetes


Early detection can play an important role in preserving vision and supporting effective treatment where required.

Personal Eye Care for Children and Adults

We welcome patients of all ages and provide eye examinations for both children and adults in a relaxed, friendly environment. Whether you are attending for your first eye test, updating your prescription, or seeking ongoing support for your eye health, our experienced team is here to help.

As a long-established independent practice, we believe that exceptional eye care comes from building lasting relationships with our patients. That is why we take the time to offer a level of personal service that many larger practices simply cannot match.
