Your eye health is important and our City Optometry students use the latest technology to examine your vision.

Your eye test explained

We offer a free eye test for all patients, who will be seen by a City Optometry student. Your eye health is important, and we will help assess how clearly you can see and the overall health of your eyes. We will also help assess whether any glasses are required.

What happens at an eye test?

The eye examination begins by you being asked some questions about your vision, health and previous history.

Following this, your vision and the health of your eyes are comprehensively examined using the latest technology, including a 3D OCT scanner, allowing conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, diabetes and age-related macular degeneration to be screened.

Because of this high-level examination each appointment therefore lasts longer than at a typical high street optician, and can take up to 2.5 hours.

How we check

We use the latest diagnostic equipment when conducting ocular health checks to ensure patients are given correct diagnosis and to monitor eye sight and treatment. Learn more about how we check using our diagnostic equipment on our eye lab page.
