What to Expect in
Your Eye Examination
When you come to Eye Contact for an eye examination, you’ll receive much more than just a vision check. Our professional optometrists take the time to understand your eye health history and any concerns you may have. Your examination will involve a series of tests to check both your vision and the health of your eyes. These include testing for issues like visual acuity, eye muscle performance, and any signs of underlying eye conditions. The process is thorough, informative, and tailored to your unique needs.
Why the Health of Your Eyes Matters
Eye health is fundamental to overall wellbeing, yet it’s easy to overlook. Regular eye examinations help detect conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration early, even before symptoms appear. At Eye Contact, we’re committed to ensuring that you have the knowledge and support to take the best care of your vision. Whether it’s preventive care or tailored treatment advice, we’re here to keep your eyes in the best possible condition.
Enhanced Eye Examination with OCT
For those who want a more in-depth view of their eye health, we offer an enhanced eye examination using OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) technology. OCT provides a highly detailed image of the layers of your retina, enabling us to detect eye conditions at their earliest stages. This technology allows us to assess your eye health with greater precision, offering peace of mind and more accurate care. NHS and private patients alike have the option to upgrade their standard examination to include this advanced scan.Eye Contact welcomes patients of all ages, and we’re proud to have a dedicated and approachable team ready to take care of your eye health. From routine check-ups to advanced care, we’re here to provide a warm, welcoming experience that puts your wellbeing first.

A standard eye examination usually takes about 30 minutes. If you choose to include an OCT scan, it may take a bit longer to complete. We’ll ensure you feel comfortable and well-informed throughout the process.
How often should I have an eye examination?
We recommend adults have an eye examination every two years. However, if you have a specific eye condition, wear glasses or contact lenses, or have a family history of eye issues, more frequent visits may be advised. Our optometrists can guide you on what’s best for your individual needs.
Can my child have an eye test?
Yes, children can and should have regular eye tests, as early detection of vision issues is essential for their development and education. At Eye Contact, we welcome patients of all ages, and our friendly team makes sure that children feel comfortable and at ease during their eye test.
What happens if I need glasses?
If your examination indicates that you need glasses, our optometrists will discuss your prescription with you and explain your options. You’ll be able to choose from a wide range of frames in our practice, and our team will help you find a pair that suits your style, budget, and vision needs. Once selected, we’ll arrange for your new glasses to be made and fitted for you.
