Eye Health and Conditions

Discover what to expect from your eye examination, why eye health is so important and learn about some of the most common eye conditions and what they mean.
Why is your Eye Examination so important?
During your examination appointment, we not only check the prescription required for any spectacles but give your eyes a thorough health check at the same time.
As well as any eye health issues, we can also detect signs of high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol.
