Routine Eye Examination

Our routine eye examination is a thorough assessment of both your vision and the health of your eyes. Suitable for all ages, it's the ideal starting point for keeping your sight in great shape and is available through the NHS for eligible patients.

NHS Eligibility

Many patients are entitled to a free NHS eye test, including those under 16, over 60, with diabetes, or receiving certain benefits. Ask us to check your eligibility when you book.

How Often Should I Be Tested?

We generally recommend an eye examination every two years, or more frequently if advised by your optometrist. Regular tests help us detect changes early, often before you notice any symptoms.
