Private Eye Examination

The importance of an eye examination

A sight test is not only an important eye health check but can detect signs of underlying general health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and raised cholesterol.

We tailor the exam to your eye’s specific needs, including all aspects of your ocular health and your eyesight requirements. Every eye examination is unique, although many parts are common. We like to find out about your current eyesight requirements, and any other health and lifestyle issues which may be relevant.

As well as checking for cataracts, glaucoma, colour and field of vision, our Optometrist will also look for signs of other health problems, such as high blood pressure and diabetes. An eye examination can often pick up these problems before the symptoms become apparent to you or a doctor, so you can benefit from early treatment.
