Eye examinations
Thorough eye tests with your long-term eye health in mind
A good eye test should do more than update your prescription. It should help monitor your eye health, identify potential concerns early, and give you confidence in the advice you receive.
Heyes Opticians aims to provide thorough examinations using modern equipment and a tailored approach for every patient. Appointments typically last around 30 minutes, with additional testing recommended where needed.
OCT eye scans
Advanced eye scans for extra reassurance
OCT scanning provides detailed images of the structures at the back of the eye, giving your optometrist a more in-depth view than a standard eye test alone. It can be a valuable additional tool when monitoring eye health and spotting subtle changes over time.
For patients who want extra reassurance, advanced scanning can provide a clearer, more detailed picture of their eye health.
Glasses and lenses
Glasses chosen around your vision, style, and day-to-day life
Choosing glasses should never feel overwhelming. Whether you want something classic, lightweight, practical, or more statement-led, Heyes offers expert guidance to help you find frames that look right and feel right.
You’ll also get support choosing the best lens option for how you actually use your eyes, whether that means everyday wear, screen use, driving, work, reading, or varifocals.
Supporting children’s vision as they grow
Good vision is essential for learning, confidence, and day-to-day development. Heyes Opticians offers children’s eye care in a calm, supportive setting, with advice tailored to both child and parent.
For families looking for additional support with childhood short-sightedness, myopia management is also available as part of the wider service offering.
