PERSONALISED CARE
Eye examinations follow a simple procedure and provide a complete assessment of your vision and eye health. Your optometrist will run a series of tests and ask you some questions about the medication you may be using, problems with your vision and if you have any family history of eye conditions. We offer a personalised service so you may also be recommended additional tests or a referral.

GLAUCOMA MONITORING
After being diagnosed with glaucoma, monitoring the condition is vital to ensure it is treated promptly and correctly. We offer glaucoma monitoring appointments in which we examine eye pressure, vision, and the optical nerve using digital imaging. This provides a complete assessment of your status so referrals and care plans care be arranged.
CATARACT MONITORING
Cataracts can cause severe vision loss over time and even blindness. In partnership with our local hospitals in Bolton and the Greater Manchester area, we offer a thorough pre and post-operative cataract monitoring service to provide the care you need.
