Eye Tests

Utilising a Visual Field Machine for Comprehensive Eye Care

This machine checks your peripheral vision, which is what you can see out of the corner of your eye. It helps us spot any hidden problems that could affect how safely you see the world around you.

Regular checks are important for all adults. Things like nerve damage, an eye injury, or a stroke can cause you to lose some of your side vision. This can be dangerous, especially if you drive or walk near busy roads.

Using this machine helps us find problems early. Catching issues quickly means we can help you get the right treatment sooner to protect your eyesight.

We will guide you through the test step-by-step and explain your results clearly. Your comfort, safety, and eye health are always our top priority.

Unveiling the Hidden Layers of Your Eyes with a Slit Lamp Examination

The front of your eye looks like a clear window, but it is actually made of many tiny layers. Even though they are very thin, these layers are vital for your eyesight.

To check these layers carefully, we use a strong microscope called a slit lamp. This tool uses a bright light to help us look closely at the health of your eye.

The slit lamp helps us spot different eye problems, such as the exact cause of a "red eye". By getting a clear look, we can work out exactly what is wrong and how best to treat it.

We use this microscope for every patient during their eye test. It is an important part of our care, helping us find and treat hidden problems to keep your eyes healthy and your vision clear.

​Monitoring Eye Pressure with a Tonometer

Your eyes are filled with fluid that keeps them at a healthy pressure. Sometimes, this fluid does not drain away like it should. This causes the pressure inside your eye to go up, which can lead to an eye condition called glaucoma.

If high eye pressure is not treated, it can damage the delicate nerves at the back of your eye. Over time, this can slowly take away your side vision.

To check your eye pressure, we use a quick and simple tool called a tonometer. It measures the pressure accurately without needing any eye drops. It is very gentle and does not actually touch your eye, making the test completely comfortable and painless.

By checking your eye pressure regularly, we can spot any problems early on. This helps us give you the right advice to protect your sight and keep your eyes healthy.

Eye Examinations for All Ages, Including Children

When should your child have an eye test? The answer is simple: at any age. We know that babies and toddlers cannot read or tell us what they see. That is why we use a special light called a retinoscope to check their eyes.

This clever tool helps us see if they need glasses early on, or if their eyesight is developing normally. Catching any problems quickly means we can help right away.

As your child grows, we change how we test their eyes. Instead of letters, we might ask younger children to look at pictures of familiar things, like cars, boats, and planes. We also do gentle checks to make sure both eyes are working well together and to test their colour vision.

We check your child's eyesight carefully at every stage of their childhood. Good vision is incredibly important for a child's learning. By spotting any issues early, we can give them the support they need to read, play, and do their best at school.

Book an eye test for your child today, knowing their vision is in safe hands. We take pride in providing friendly, personal care for the whole family.
