Eye Test At Optikal Opticians
As your trusted family eyecare provider, we are proud to offer one of the most comprehensive eye tests in London. Our optometrists can provide precise sight tests and eye health checks for all ages.
At Optikal Opticians, our personalised assessments go beyond a standard sight test. With over 15 years of clinical experience, our family-owned practices in Finchley, Temple Fortune, and Potters Bar are dedicated to providing eyecare that sets us apart.
We use the latest diagnostic technology for advanced eye tests, including OCT scans and Optomap ultra wide-field imaging, to deliver the high quality care.
How often should you have an eye test?
Regular eye exams are crucial, even if your vision seems fine. They can detect changes and signs of eye conditions like glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy early on that may not be noticeable to you.
We generally recommend that adults have an eye test every two years. If you have specific conditions, like diabetes or glaucoma, have children under the age of 16, or are over 60, our optometrists recommend an annual NHS sight test to monitor your eyes more frequently.
Contact our team to check whether you're due an eye test, or if you are experiencing any issues like blurry vision or headaches. If you are due, you can book an appointment online or by calling us at Optikal Opticians Potters Bar, Finchley or Temple Fortune.
Our Services
OCT Scan
A cutting-edge, non-invasive 3D scan that provides a detailed cross-sectional view of your retina to detect eye conditions early, up to 5 years before a routine eye test does.
Optomap Retinal Imaging
Advanced technology that captures 82% of the retina in one image vs 15% with traditional imaging methods to spot issues like diabetic retinopathy and retinal detachment in areas that are not visible during a routine eye test.
Contact Lens Consultation
We provide precise measurements and fitting for the most suitable contact lenses tailored to your vision and lifestyle needs, as well as teaching you how to insert and remove them correctly.
What Is An Eye Examination?
An eye test is a series of assessments for vision and eye health. It can diagnose correction issues such as short-sightedness, long-sightedness, and astigmatism.
Our eye tests also include eye pressure and eye health checks of the front surface and back of your eyes to look for signs of eye diseases, as well as underlying general health issues like diabetes and high blood pressure.
Whether you have a routine check or upgrade to an advanced eye test, our opticians will provide the most accurate outcome, from referrals for prescription glasses, sunglasses, contact lenses, to treatment for conditions like dry eye syndrome.
How Long Does an Eye Test Take?
At Optikal Opticians, an eye test typically takes around 30 minutes. Our advanced eye test, which includes our 3D OCT scan or Optomap retinal scan, may take up to 45 minutes. Our optometrists never rush you and will provide personalised advice and recommendations based on your individual needs.
