Comprehensive Eye Examinations
Looking Beyond Your Prescription
A comprehensive eye examination does much more than check whether you need stronger glasses.
Your optometrist will carefully assess the health of your eyes, looking for early signs of conditions such as:
- Glaucoma
- Cataracts
- Age-related macular degeneration
- Diabetic eye disease
Many eye conditions develop gradually and without obvious symptoms, making regular eye tests one of the best ways to protect your sight.
Advanced Diagnostic Technology
At Paine and Hunter, eye examinations are supported by advanced OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) scanning.
This technology creates highly detailed images of the retina and optic nerve, allowing your optometrist to detect subtle changes that may not be visible during a standard examination.
Early diagnosis provides greater reassurance and, where necessary, allows treatment to begin sooner.
Personalised Advice You Can Trust
Every patient’s eyesight, prescription and lifestyle are different.
Whether you spend your day working at a computer, drive regularly, or simply want comfortable glasses for everyday use, your optometrist will recommend lenses and frames that suit your individual needs.
This personalised approach is one of the reasons many people continue to choose independent opticians over larger high street chains.
