Frequently Asked Questions

Our routine eye examinations cost £125.00 for adults and £85.00 for children.

Your eye examination will take approximately forty minutes, sometimes longer if further tests are needed. We will thoroughly assess the health of your eyes by examining them both internally and externally. If more tests are indeed required, we have the most advanced equipment and technology to ensure an accurate diagnosis. Whilst you may find free or cheaper eye examinations elsewhere, we believe that the clinical care we offer is THE most important part of our role as an optometric practice and as such, have never - and never will, offer this free of charge or at a discounted rate.

An Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a hospital-quality scan that uses cutting-edge technology to look more closely at your retina. Many common eye diseases can creep up on you, without any significant symptoms. In particular, an OCT scan can help to detect eye conditions like glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Digital images will be stored and compared at subsequent visits to show any changes in conditions. Your optometrist will advise if an OCT scan is recommended (the cost is £75.00).

Yes, we do. Our eye examinations for children cost £85.00.

For younger children, we use eye charts featuring objects rather than letters for those who cannot yet read. We also make testing fun by using specially designed games. Most importantly, we take the time to look at each child holistically. We strongly recommend annual eye checks for children to ensure any issues can be identified and hopefully treated early.

We have a specialist children’s department, offering a huge choice of colourful, fun frames for our younger patients.

We have a 24hr cancellation policy therefore the appointment fee is charged if you cancel with less than 24hrs notice or do not arrive for your appointment.
