Eye Examination

“Your eyes are precious, let us take care of them”

Changes in our eyesight can be subtle and gradual, plus many eye conditions are both silent and painless. A thorough eye examination is also a general indicator of your whole wellbeing, so it makes sense to be tested every one or two years.

At ELLERKER Opticians we provide a thorough eye examination with tests to assess the health of
your eyes.

Your eye examination takes 30 minutes and includes checking the following:

• Your eyesight - by reading letters on a chart.
• Your outer eye health - by shining a light on the front of your eyes and testing the pupils’ reactions.
• Your inner eye health - by shining a light into your eyes and asking you to look in different directions.
• For glaucoma - by measuring the pressure in your eyes (if you are over 40 years old) and for diabetes - by checking the retina.

If you do need glasses, we’ll check this using the letters and colours on a chart and measure your vision with lenses. At ELLERKER Opticians we also carry out NHS eye examinations
