We really believe in offering you top quality eye care and taking our time to do it properly. Rest assured that if there are any problems, we will spot them. Firstly, you’ll be asked some questions about your overall eye health, family history and any changes in your vision since your last check-up.

You’ll then have a series of checks using the latest, advanced eye care technology, including retinal photography (on all suitable adults), which is a detailed digital picture of the back of your eye. As well as diagnosing if you need help with your vision, we’ll check your eyes for signs of serious eye conditions, like glaucoma or macular degeneration.

As part of our commitment to give you the best eye care we have a state of the art OCT-3D Eye Scanner. This allows us to detect eye diseases at the earliest possible stage. The 3D OCT scan allows viewing of the deeper layers of retinal tissues. It is in these deeper layers that the signs of macula degeneration, diabetes, macula holes etc. can be first seen. The 3D OCT scan allows for early detection and therefore earlier treatment of these conditions (where appropriate).

'...offering you top quality eye care and taking our time to do it properly.'

When you come through our doors, we'll sit you down and make you feel calm and relaxed - we'll never rush you or put you under any kind of pressure.

WAO Advanced Gold Eye Test

This eye test is recommended by our specialists to all patients over the age of 19. It provides the most thorough analysis possible for optimising eye health and vision, and gives you as much information as possible concerning your eyes. It includes basic eye tests and prescriptions, but extends further to involve our specialised Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) 3D scan and an Optomap Retinal Scan.

Using our Fundus Camera, we also take a high quality digital image of the central retina to allow for clarity and a full examination of the front and back of your eye. This allows us to uncover deeper vision and eye health issues that a standard eye test cannot.

WAO Advanced Eye Test

Our Advanced Eye Examination provides an in-depth vision test and prescription, as well as a basic eye health examination. Like in our GOLD examination, we use our Optomap Retinal Scan to take a wide-angle photograph of the back of your eye. This assesses your eye health thoroughly and, combined with an image taken using our Fundus Camera, can be used as comparison images for future eye exams.

WAO Extended Eye Test

This examination covers standard eye health, using a vision test and prescription service. Additionally, we also use our Fundus Camera to take a digital image of your eye for a closer examination and for use in future eye tests.

Once the tests have been done, you can discuss the findings with your optometrist and ask any questions you like. If you need help with your eyesight, you’ll be given a prescription for the lenses. Of course, we hope there won’t be any serious problems, but if there are, you can be sure we’ll discuss them with you clearly and sensitively. Assuming that everything is OK, after the eye exam you’ll have a chance to sit down and chat with a member of our dispensing team about your options for eyewear, if a new prescription is required. Not everyones sight changes from year to year, so we’ll give you honest advice about this too.
