Eye tests in Skelmersdale

Detailed eye examinations for clearer vision and better eye health

We rely on our sight every day, which is why regular eye examinations are so important. At Heyes Opticians Skelmersdale, eye tests are designed not just to check your prescription, but also to monitor your eye health and identify potential concerns as early as possible.

Appointments usually last around 30 minutes, with extra testing recommended if needed. During your visit, the optometrist explains the findings clearly and makes recommendations based on your work, lifestyle, and visual needs.

OCT eye scans

See more than a standard eye test alone

Heyes Opticians offers Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) in Skelmersdale. OCT uses light to produce detailed 3D images of the back of the eye, helping your optometrist assess eye health in greater depth and monitor even subtle changes over time.

For patients who want added reassurance, OCT can provide an invaluable extra layer of detail as part of their eye care. OCT is available as an additional option alongside an eye test.

Glasses and lenses

Frames you’ll love. Lenses that work for real life.

Heyes Opticians offers a broad selection of eyewear, alongside expert advice to help patients find frames that look great and perform well. As an independent practice, the focus is on helping each patient choose the right frame and lens combination, with time taken to make an informed decision.

Whether you want an everyday pair, work-friendly eyewear, or something more stylish for weekends and occasions, the team can help you choose glasses that feel right as well as look right.

Helping protect young eyes as they grow

Heyes Opticians also provides myopia management for children with short-sightedness, including solutions based on CooperVision MiSight contact lenses and Hoya MiYOSMART spectacle lenses.

For parents in Skelmersdale looking for proactive eye care for their child, this gives access to specialist support closer to home.

We first met Neil just after he opened his first practice in Burscough. Neil and the staff have always been first class, knowledgeable, and professional; and at the same time so approachable, caring and friendly!

Recently bought my first pair of varifocals from Heyes Opticians and wanted to recommend them for their superb customer service all the way through the process, from the polite and friendly receptionist Kate, to the helpful dispensing assistant Sam and the optician himself Mr Neil Heyes.

I had my eye test last week with Heyes Opticians & it was the most comprehensive thorough test I’ve had. The Optician made me feel at ease and explained everything in detail to me & having the Zeiss OCT scan checking my eyes in detail was worth every penny! Fabulous service, fabulous staff, Fabulous Opticians. See you next year & thank you all at Heyes

We always have a great and friendly experience at Heyes Opticians in Ormskirk but today my son broke his glasses and we are due to go away on Sunday so I called up late afternoon and rushed in. The ladies tried everything they could and unfortunately couldn’t get an arm to fit his glasses but I was so impressed with how hard they tried for us at such short notice too. Thank you for trying

Fantastic service today, I have broken my glasses and I am shielding. Victoria at Ormskirk branch went above and beyond to help by sending photos of glasses for me to choose. Nothing was too much for her to help me today Highly recommend such a fabulous service Thank you again
