Private Eye Examinations
As independent Norwich opticians, we have over 100 years experience in caring for eyes and believe in a holistic approach to eye care.
Our highly-experienced professional optometrists will test your eyesight and examine your eyes. We will check if you need glasses or an update to your current spectacle frame or contact lens prescription. We pride ourselves on our high standards of care and the accuracy of our prescribing.
At the end of the sight test, your optometrist will discuss findings with you and advise whether you need sight correction with glasses and/or contact lenses, any changes to your current prescription or referral for additional specialist investigation.
After your eye test with our optometrist, our experienced team of dispensing opticians can assist you with frame choices to suit your face shape and reflect your personality and style.
Following your Eye Test, if appropriate, an accurate prescription may be created for glasses or contact lenses to improve your vision: reading, computer use, driving or day to day use. If you choose glasses or spectacles, we stock a wide range of frames from top designers through to budget options.
