Your eye examination
Focusing on your eye health
Routine eye examinations are important, regardless of your age or physical health. Eye tests examine more than just your standard of vision. The optometrist will examine the internal and external health of your eyes to identify any potential sight threatening conditions.
At Peters Optical it is important to us that you leave the practice happy and satisfied that your eyes have been professionally examined and the health of your eyes is in the safest hands possible.
Private EYE test
Private eye tests can take between twenty and thirty minutes and cost £30. Using the latest techniques and diagnosis equipment we check your eyes for a wide range of eye conditions and leave you with an up to date prescription. Unlike many large chains our opticians do not have any sales targets to meet we are solely focused on the health of your eye and correct refractions.
NHS SIGHT TEST
If you are covered under the NHS for your sight test then you will receive the exact same high quality twenty to thirty minuet examination as a private patient. Your sight test will be covered in full and you will not need to pay anything towards the test. To see if you are eligible for a sight test under the NHS see below.
