Eye Examinations For Private and NHS Patients
At Trotman Opticians, we deliver comprehensive eye examinations designed to work for everyone in our community. With personalised testing available for all different ages and requirements, we make sure everyone gets eye care that’s right for them.
We offer both NHS eye exams, including the most important, fundamental tests and private exams for a more advanced look at eye health. Whether you dealing with a specific eye problem or simply checking in on your eye health, we’ll make sure you get effective eye care that works for you.
Looking After Your Eye Health
Taking care of your eyes is vital to your quality of life. As independent opticians, we want to give you all the tools and information to look after them properly. Many people forget that eyesight is part of general health and eating healthily and getting exercise can help to prevent serious difficulties with your vision.
Other ways to keep your eyes healthy include protecting them from damage and strain by using the right eyewear and resting them when needed. For all the care you can’t do yourself, we are here to provide testing, treatment and products to help you manage this important part of your health.
What to Expect In Your Eye Examination?
With us, eye examinations are not just about seeing whether you need glasses but creating a complete picture of your eye health. During your eye examination, your optometrist will gather information about your medical status and any symptoms you are experiencing.
This helps them to understand whether you are at greater risk of eye conditions and whether to carry out additional tests. The exam also involves a full visual assessment, to test for all different kinds of vision impairment. Finally, some health checks are carried out including screening for conditions commonly affecting the eyes.
Our optometrists are friendly and experienced and will talk you through anything you are unsure about. The examinations are there to work for you, so if you have any questions or concerns we will be happy to help in any way we can.
Minor Eye Conditions Service
For eye care that can’t wait, we provide an emergency eye care service for minor conditions. Having your eyes looked at when you are experiencing symptoms can potentially save you from a sight-threatening condition. Our optometrists are trained to diagnose and treat many minor conditions and can provide you with referrals when necessary. If you have a recent problem with your eyes, get in touch and we can assess the issue and help you find a solution quickly.
Enhanced Eye Examinations With OCT
To take the best care of your eyes possible, we use the latest optical technology. With our enhanced eye examination, we are proud to offer OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) scans. OCT is a technology that can quickly create a digital image of your retinas with much greater scope than previous methods.
The cross-sectional image can be immediately analysed by your opticians helping them to create a more detailed picture of your eye health.
Many conditions like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy are spotted when they are already in their later stages – with OCT they can be diagnosed much earlier. Get in touch and we can tell you whether OCT may be the right choice for you.
