the importance of an eye test
Eye tests are crucial not only for assessing changes in your vision but also for maintaining overall eye health. During an eye examination, optometrists can detect conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration early, when they are most treatable.
Additionally, eye tests can sometimes uncover signs of general health problems like diabetes and high blood pressure, which can manifest in the eyes before other symptoms appear.
Regular eye exams are essential for preserving your eyesight and ensuring your overall well-being, providing a comprehensive picture of your health that goes beyond just how well you see.
Advanced eye care with OCT
We offer all patients the opportunity to enhance their eye examination with OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography).
This advanced scan provides detailed cross-sectional images of the back of your eye, allowing us to detect early signs of conditions such as glaucoma and macular changes.
The scan is quick and comfortable, and it gives us valuable additional information beyond a standard eye test. We will always talk you through the benefits so you can decide what is right for you.
After your eye test
Your optometrist will tell you about the standard of your vision, the health of your eyes and any individual visual requirements you may have. You will be told whether glasses are required and what to use them for. You will be advised when your next eye test is due, and will either be given a copy of your prescription or a statement confirming that you do not need glasses.
If glasses are required, you will see the dispensing optician who will advise on frame styles and lens types suitable for your lifestyle, visual needs and prescription. We will send you a reminder when you are next due for an eye test. If you have any questions before then, please feel free to contact us.
We look forward to looking after your sight.
Who should have OCT
Everyone seeking the highest quality eye care should consider OCT, particularly if you are over 40, have a family history of eye problems, are diabetic (even if you already attend a screening service), have general health conditions that may affect your eyes, or have ever had an abnormality detected using any other method.
Who qualifies for an NHS eye test
You may be entitled to a free NHS sight test depending on your age, health, income or benefits.
This can include children under 16, young people under 19 in full-time education, people aged 60 or over, and patients with certain medical or eye health conditions. You can check the full NHS eligibility guidance for the most up-to-date information.
