Eye Examinations

Our eye tests – well-known for their thoroughness and care

We understand the difference between a good and a poor eye test, which is why we’re able to provide you with examinations which are thorough, detailed and easy to explain.
Checking for all major visual problems, we can make sure you receive the care you deserve.

When should I have my eyes tested?

Your eyes should be checked by a professional at least once every two years. The frequency of your visit will vary if you already suffer a serious eye condition or wear contact lenses, in which case we may ask you for more regular visits to check on your progress.

What sight-related issues can be helped with regular eye tests?

Your eyes will be checked for a number of issues. These include:

Age-related Macular Degeneration
Dry eye syndrome
Glaucoma

Cataracts
Flashes and floaters

We’ll also check for a variety of non-sight related problems. These include:

High blood pressure
Diabetes

These checks are included in your examinations as standard, putting your mind at ease with every visit.

What will happen after my examination?

Once we’ve completed your eye test, we’ll explain any changes in your sight to you in simple, easy to understand terms. We’ll arrange a new lens prescription, if any is needed, and give you all the time and guidance you need to select the best and most suitableniche eyewear for you.

Do I qualify for NHS treatment?

A number of different people qualify for NHS optical examinations if they fall into certain categories and their eye care is considered clinically necessary. For more information on NHS treatment in England, follow this link or give us a call.

What our clients say

I had my eyes checked and bought glasses here a while ago and went back again this week because I wanted some new glasses. An unhurried and thorough eye test. No pressure to choose frames, and I’m not good at making up my mind, but they found a great pair that suited me very well. They were ready much faster than initially told.

Tim Ripley

Initially we chose Perspective Optometrists because it was conveniently near our home but since then we have moved to another borough and have chosen to stay with Perspective because of their excellent service.

Gary Baron

The personalised service is great and the Perspective Optometrists team truly engage with their customers. I love all my glasses from Perspective and thanks to Rupal and her teams’ style advice I now have glasses that really suit me.

Jenny Engstrom

Very good service, highly professional. Recommended.

Dominic Sutherland

My whole family has been using Perspective for the last few years and we are delighted with the high quality of professional service and care provided by the team. It is a friendly relaxed environment and they have a fantastic range of frames and products. I am always happy to recommend them to friends and family
