The Retina: A Window into Your Cardiovascular Risk

Screen | Detect | Prevent

Your eye examination can now do more than check your vision - it can offer a powerful glimpse into your heart health. Using advanced retinal screening technology, we can assess your risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) through a quick, non-invasive scan.

How It Works

A high-resolution image of your retina is captured using cutting-edge imaging technology.
The image is analysed for subtle markers linked to cardiovascular risk.
You receive a personalised risk assessment with your eye examination results.

This advanced screening only takes a few minutes and can be done seamlessly during your eye exam—no extra appointments or referrals required.

Why Choose This Screening?

Quick & Painless – No needles, no blood tests, no radiation—just a fast and simple eye scan.
Convenient – Integrated into your advanced eye examination.
Early Detection – Identifies cardiovascular risks before symptoms arise.
Tailored for At-Risk Patients – Especially valuable if you have high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of heart disease.

Exclusive to Cacoullis Opticians

This type of cardiovascular risk screening through the eyes is not currently offered by other local opticians. We're proud to bring you exclusive access to this cutting-edge technology, helping you stay one step ahead in protecting your health.

Book your advanced eye examination today and gain more than just peace of mind about your vision - gain insight into your heart health, too.

Every so often I experience a bout of Uveitis which then means hours waiting at the eye hospital for a check and treatment.

I was recently introduced to Cacoullis Opticians which is a much better use of my time! From the moment I walked in to the check up by the IP Optom, I felt valued and reassured rather than just a statistic.

I am so glad I now have an alternative to the eye hospital for checks and medication if required. Anyone else who is familiar with having to wait at A&E, I have no hesitation in recommending Cacoullis.

Booked an appointment for my daughter online.
Was called to cancel as optician in a meeting on a Saturday afternoon.
Not left a good impression and was our first visit here.
Was offered 10am on the Saturday morning but this time was not convenient.

Response from the owner 23:51 26 Jul 25

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We’re sorry to hear that your first impression wasn’t as positive as we hoped.In this case, we contacted you a few days in advance to let you know about the unavoidable change to the optician’s personal circumstances and offered several alternative appointments, including options on the same day, to minimise any inconvenience. We regret that none of these times were suitable for you.Our team always strives to be as accommodating as possible, and we’d still love the opportunity to welcome you and your daughter so we can demonstrate the high level of care and service we’re known for. Please feel free to reach out so we can arrange a time that works best for you.Kind regards,The Cacoullis Opticians Team

I always recommend this optician to anyone I can. So friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He dealt with my 13 year old with nystagmus wonderfully, did not talk about the condition infront of my son, as I had asked and approached the subject to me with care. He then dealt with my almost 3 year old so delicately after she had a minor graze to her eye and she was so comfortable with the optician that she managed to complete all necessary checks without a single complaint..thank you

Excellent service at Cacoullis in Halesowen . Went to book an appointment at the eye treatment clinic on a Saturday expecting to have the appointment for the following week but to my pleasure the gentleman said he could see me straight away, he did a very thorough examination of my eyes and prescribed me the medication I needed 😊 Would definitely recommend them, all staff very helpful and professional.

First time visiting. I got recommended from my doctor to assess a minor eye issue. The service was fantastic and I'm so glad I went as they picked up on an issue that is quite significant and needs a referral. This wasn't picked up on my last eye test 12 months ago with specsavers . So they really know what there looking for and taking about defiantly will be going back for any further eye checks.

Got an appointment very quickly to be seen by the Optometrist for a condition I have been struggling with for months. I was nervous before the appointment but was put at ease as soon as I arrived. The eye examination itself was well explained and carried out. The condition was explained very clearly and what treatment would be required. Follow up appointment made. Convenient location with parking, seen very quickly and I would highly recommend

We came in for an emergency appointment for our baby as apparently the GP won’t see eye problems anymore. The team at Cacoullis were fantastic, they saw us straight away with no appointment, was thorough, gave us the necessary medication, informed us if we had any concerns we could contact him directly to ask advice, just absolutely wonderful. 10/10 would definitely go there again for emergency appointments as well as regular check ups.

I recently visited the doctors for an eye issue that was not resolved timely. The optician was amazingly helpful, and by far the most useful resource I had throughout my issue. They had a wealth of knowledge and within a few days my problem has began to reduce and I was invited for follow ups to ensure my eyes were healthy. I would definitely recommend to anyone needing support for urgent eye issues

5 Star service,

I had an issue with my eye and was to be seen within 30 mins, I was met by a lovey receptionist and was seen by the doctor shortly afterwards,

I was given a perception and advice,

Will definitely be visiting in the future for an eye test or and glasses.

Having never needed to visit an opticians before I didn't know what to expect but the team at Calcoullis couldn't have impressed me more than they did. Extremely friendly, thorough and clear with their explanation of my situation. My appointment was on time and I left with everything I needed. I doubt I'll ever consider going to a different optician after the experience I had today.

Tom Morgan

Needed a cues appointment and was recommended here. Got an appointment the next day and was prescribed eye gel that cleared my problem in a couple of days. Great service and really nice staff. I would definitely recommend. Thanks

Absolutely outstanding service. This is not my usual opticians, however I have had to visit twice in the last two months for urgent eye examinations and treatment. Cannot praise the optician enough. Fitted me in for a same day appointment, even on a Saturday! Saw me promptly and was very thorough in his examination of my eyes, offering reassurance throughout. On both occasions the problems were sorted and I was back to normal in a couple of days. Follow up appointments were the same. Professional and courteous each time. Highly recommend this excellent local and independent optician.

Cacoullis were very accommodating and managed to fit me in for an urgent appointment first thing in the morning the next day to check my eyes after I’d been accidentally exposed to chemicals. Nasir was very reassuring, listening to my concerns and checking everything I asked. Nothing was too much and he really helped reassure me that everything was fine.
I’d definitely use them again!

Beth Field

I was referred here by my Drs for my sons swollen eye. Had two appointments, the second one being a review two days after the first. Both times we were presented with excellent service and care. The optician was brilliant with my son and explained everything to him. Lovely clean and tidy place too. Definitely recommend to both adults and children.

Andrew Morris

I recently visited Cacoullis, a local independent opticians, and had a great experience. The staff were friendly, approachable, and very knowledgeable. During my eye exam, the optometrist, Nasir, was thorough and professional, taking the time to explain each step and answer all of my questions. When it came to selecting frames, they were patient and provided excellent personalized attention. They helped me choose a pair that I love and that fit my needs perfectly. Overall, I highly recommend Cacoullis for anyone in need of exceptional eye care and personalized service.

Mrs Stewart

Great opticians and I would thoroughly recommend. Very efficient and professional service. Nasir is friendly, explained everything patiently and he inspires confidence in the testing process. Julie was also excellent and patient in fitting my new glasses. Overall, you feel like you are in very safe hands and you can have total confidence in this excellent optician's practice.
