At our independent practice in Stalybridge, we offer private and NHS eye examinations so everybody in our community can get quality eye care that works for them. Our experienced optometrists use the latest technology to assess your eyes and vision so you have complete reassurance that your eyes are in good shape.

YOUR EYE HEALTH
Everybody’s eyes are different and it can be difficult to know how to keep them healthy. There are plenty of things you can do to care for your eyes like eating healthily and protecting yourself from the sun with treated sunglasses, but there are also plenty of things that require professional help. We are proud to offer care, advice and vision correction to patients of all ages to help keep our community’s eyes healthy.

WHAT TO EXPECT IN YOUR EYE EXAMINATION ?
Your eye examination will take place at our practice in Stalybridge and will be carried out by an optometrist with years of experience. Using the latest technology your vision and eye health will be examined.
This includes the use of a Fundus camera, which is a device for examining the interior surface of your eyes.
Our examinations are comprehensive so they not only check your vision but screen for eye conditions that can affect your general health as well. After an eye examination with us, you can be confident that you’ll be aware of any vision loss or condition affecting your eyes.
THE TECHNOLOGY TO CARE
To make sure our eye examinations are completely thorough we are fully equipped with the latest and best eye care technology. This includes Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), which is a scanner that creates a 3D digital image of the different layers in the back of your eye. These scans allow trained optometrists to check certain areas of the eye to diagnose potentially sight-threatening abnormalities. These scans are a recommended part of all advanced eye examinations and we are proud to be the first practice in the area to offer them.
