Your optometrist will carry out a thorough examination of your eyes, which is far more than simply finding out if you need to wear spectacles.
The examination begins with a discussion of any eye problems or concerns that you have and your eyesight needs at home and work. Your prescription for spectacles will be determined, and your eyes will have a thorough examination to ensure they are healthy including screening for glaucoma.
Many patients qualify for free eye examinations under the NHS.
