Advanced Eye Examination
Comprehensive | Ethical | Professional
At Cacoullis Opticians, we believe a thorough eye examination is about much more than checking whether you need glasses. It's an opportunity to take a closer look at your eye health, understand your vision and identify any potential problems early.
Our eye examinations are carried out by experienced, fully qualified optometrists using modern diagnostic equipment, including Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). This allows us to examine the health of your eyes in greater detail and look for early signs of conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts and macular degeneration.
We also understand that everyone's eyes and visual needs are different. Whether you spend long hours working at a screen, drive regularly, enjoy reading or have particular concerns about your eyesight, we'll take these into account during your examination.
We'll always explain our findings in plain English and give you straightforward, honest advice. If you need glasses, contact lenses or further investigation, we'll talk you through your options without any pressure.
What to Expect During Your Eye Exam
Our advanced eye examinations typically last up to 45 minutes, allowing us to spend considerably more time with you than is usual for a standard high-street sight test.
We don't believe in rushing appointments. Every examination is carried out by a fully qualified optometrist, including any additional diagnostic tests. This means you receive consistent, professional care throughout your visit rather than being passed between different members of staff.
During your appointment, we'll check your vision, assess your prescription and examine the overall health of your eyes. We'll also ask about your general health, lifestyle and any changes you've noticed in your eyesight.
Where appropriate, we may recommend further tests to help us build a clearer picture of your eye health. We'll always explain what these involve and why we feel they're necessary.
Our optometrists regularly update their clinical knowledge and keep up with developments in eye care, ensuring that the advice and treatment you receive reflect current professional standards.
Most importantly, we'll take the time to answer your questions and discuss any concerns you may have. We want you to leave knowing exactly how your eyes are doing and what, if anything, needs to happen next.
