We offer a range of services to our customers:

Eye examinations –Our optometrists conduct a thorough examination of your eyes to check their health and function. Our examinations cover a range of areas including:

  • Pupil reactions;
  • Eye movements;
  • In depth check of your visual field using Humphrey field exam
  • Recording your eye pressures as part of our routine Glaucoma screening.

          

      We will discuss our findings with you and advise you on the most appropriate course of action including the type of visual correction most appropriate to you.

DVLA Testing - The DVLA may require you to take a visual field test if you have disclosed an eye condition that affects the quality of your vision. This would ordinarily involve an eye examination with and without your current spectacle prescription as well as the visual fields test at the opticians of your choosing.

The Esterman Visual Field Test is carried out on both eyes together (binocularly) and wearing any glasses that you normally wear when driving. It is carried out on a visual field analyser, a computerised machine where you have to responding to small, flashing lights by pressing a button whilst looking straight ahead. The test should take around half an hour to complete.

Our optometrist can carry out the test and provide with you with the documentation required by the DVLA. For more information on the visual standards set by the DVLA, please click here.
