FAQs

Adults should have their eyes tested at least every two years. If you are under the age of 16 or over the age of 70 then we may want to see you more frequently. If you experience any problems with your eyes or eyesight then book an appointment to have them looked at, at your earliest convenience.

If we find that you need to wear glasses following your test, we will provide a prescription and order your glasses for you. We have a wide selection of frames from both boutique and leading brands, so we can help you find something you feel comfortable and stylish in. Alternatively, we may be able to discuss contact lenses.

Glaucoma is a medical condition that effects the eye’s optic nerve and can get progressively worse if left untreated. The associated pressure that forms in the eye can lead to a loss of vision, which can be permanent. Typically, symptoms are few and the condition can go unnoticed for a long period of time. Therefore, it is very important to keep up to date with your eye tests.

If you suffer from dry eyes, contact lenses may not be the best choice. Contact our optometrists for further advice on dry eye conditions and to discuss our selection of vision correction solutions.
