Eye Health from Nikki Fenner

Sight Test

A sight test is a vital health check – it’s not just simply to see if you need visual correction or not. A thorough eye examination will not only reveal the health of your eyes, but it will also provide important information about your general health.

In addition to checking for cataracts, glaucoma, colour blindness and field of vision, our Optometrists will also check for signs of other health problems, such as high blood pressure and diabetes. In fact, an eye examination can often pick up these problems before the symptoms become apparent to you or a doctor, thus enabling you to benefit from early treatment.

We recommend that you have a thorough eye examination every 1-2 years.

Free Sight Tests

Whilst we charge for our highly professional eye examinations, there are a number of concessions available. Free NHS eye examinations are offered to children (under the age of 16), students in full-time education (under the age of 19), anyone over the age of 60, diabetics, those suffering from glaucoma or those with a family history of glaucoma (over the age of 40) and those with low incomes.
