Your Journey To Better Vision
Comprehensive Eye Exams
We’re so committed to clinical care, that on average we spend up to a third more time with you than other high street opticians.
Introduction
Why you need a eye exam?
The eye examination does much more than just test your vision. In fact, your eyes can be the portals of your overall health. Many diseases show early signs in the eyes, including cardiovascular health and diabetes. Following your eye examination, the optometrist will advise you of your own specific requirements.

Quick Questions
How often do you require an eye test?
Eye examinations are FREE to everyone in Scotland under the NHS. We recommend patients take regular eye examinations every one to two years, and especially if you are:
- Age 60+
- Diabetic
- From a family with a history of glaucoma or other eye conditions.
Regular eye examinations are fundamental to the health of your eyes.
This allows for early detection of cataracts, diabetes, glaucoma and macular degeneration, maintaining your eyesight for the future
