Low Vision Assessments
Some eye conditions unfortunately cannot be improved by spectacles, contact lenses or surgery,meaning little can
be done to correct sight to normal levels.
Most cases of low vision are age-related and whilst there is no cure, there are ways to maximise your remaining sight.
Our optometrists specialise in low vision assessments, taking the time to accurately determine your degree of vision loss and provide expert recommendations on how you can make the most of the sight you do have.
Testing that is tailored to your needs
We offer a range of low vision aids (LVAs), including specialist magnifiers and telescopic lenses, along with electronic visual enhancing equipment. Depending on your requirements, our assessments will usually include demonstrations of the options suitable for your condition, with additional guidance on optimal lighting and other management strategies.
Our care also goes beyond the clinic, so we also provide non-optical support for living with visual impairment, and can put you in contact with help groups and/or share information about accessibility features and materials that will make day-to-day life easier.

IN FOCUS

The Optomap is the only test that captures more than 80% of your retina in one panoramic image. The unique optomap ultra-wide view helps detect early signs of retinal disease more effectively and efficiently than with traditional eye examination alone. The test is fast and pain-free and nothing touches your eye.
