What is an Extended Eye Examination?
Extended Eye Examinations involve state-of-the-art diagnostic tools and techniques that allow us to assess the health of your eyes with greater accuracy and depth. These examinations offer a more thorough understanding of your visual system and help in identifying subtle abnormalities or structural issues that may enable early intervention of potential problems.
Why Should I Have an Extended Eye Examination?
Comprehensive Health Screening
Our enhanced examinations screen for a wide range of conditions that could affect your vision, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts and diabetic retinopathy.
Advanced Diagnostic Technology
We use cutting-edge equipment such as OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) and retinal imaging to capture detailed images of your retina, optic nerve, and other critical structures. These technologies help detect subtle changes that could indicate potential problems.
Personalised Care and Consultation
We take the time to listen to your concerns and customise your eye exam based on your personal health history, lifestyle, and vision needs. We will explain everything clearly, so you feel informed and confident about your eye care.
Early Detection and Prevention
By identifying conditions in their early stages, we can offer referral to the local ophthalmology team for you to discuss treatment options that can prevent vision loss or even correct issues before they progress. This proactive approach to eye health is essential in protecting your vision long-term.

No, an extended eye test and the OCT scan are completely pain free.
No, extended eye tests can be carried out at any age.
Even if you don’t have a family history of eye conditions such as glaucoma, we still highly recommend an extended eye examination at least once due to the essential baseline reading this provides for future extended eye tests.
