Children’s Eye Tests
Being able to see is important for a child’s overall development.
Children do not have to be able to read or talk to have their eyes examined, it’s possible to see whether a child has healthy eyes or needs glasses without asking them any questions.
If you have any concerns about your child’s eyes or if there is a history of squint or lazy eye in your family, please book in for a full children’s eye test.
Children under the age of 16 and those in full time education under the age of 18 qualify for free eye tests under the NHS.
Retinal Scans
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
OCT is an advanced eye scan for people of all ages using a Topcon state-of-the-art 3D OCT camera. Similar to an ultrasound, it uses light rather than sound waves to image the different layers that make up ti front and back of your eye.
We take a digital photograph and a three dimensional cross sectional scan of the back of your eye, which allows instant and early diagnosis of a number of common heath conditions, which includes age-related macular degeneration, diabetes, glaucoma, vitreous detachments and macular holes.
The scan is non-invasive, painless, quick and simple.
The software can automatically detect even the most subtle changes to the retina with every eye test you have, giving you an invaluable on-going record of the health and condition of your eyes.
