It’s not just your vision we care about – it’s your health too.

A comprehensive eye health check isn’t just about your vision and getting a new pair of spectacles or contact lenses, it can reveal early problems or changes in your eye that you may be unaware. If we can detect any problems earlier, it allows for early treatment and a better outcome for your health.

We at Family Eyecare have invested in the very latest technology and can now study your eyes with incredible detail allowing early detection, diagnosis and monitoring of Glaucoma, Diabetic Retinopathy, Age Related Macular Degeneration, Retinal Detachments and much more.

Following our installation of the remarkable Nidek RS-330 Optical Coherence Tomographer (OCT for short) we are now able to image the very back of your eye, allowing us to study your eyes in incredible detail. Also by keeping records of these images for you we can compare them the next time you visit, year on year, which is extremely useful. Having an OCT screening in combination with your normal eye test will allow us to obtain the most detailed information about your overall eye health.

Why not contact us to schedule your OCT health check. It is a fast, non-contact and pleasant test where you simply sit in front of the instrument where your eye will be scanned within a few seconds.

Further to this, Family Eyecare also offers the MPOD test a revolutionary technique that helps with early detection of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), which is the single biggest cause of blindness worldwide.

This unique service helps to detect the density of the macula pigment and if abnormal, we can take steps to protect your eyes. See the clip on our AMD information page here in order to understand the process taken when AMD develops.

We strongly recommend that you take advantage of the Premier Eye Examination offered at Family Eyecare in order to examine your ocular health primarily against Age-Related Macular Degeneration and retinal ailments.
