Eye examinations
The more you know about your eyes, the easier it is to keep them healthy.
Regular eye tests are an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. At Leo Eye Centre we take great care when examining your eyes, for children and adults alike.
What to expect
A full and thorough eye examination.
Our optometrist has the expertise and sophisticated equipment to accurately determine your prescription and assess the health of your eyes. We conduct a full and thorough eye examination covering all the tests needed to tell whether you would benefit from spectacles.
Your optician will advise you on all aspects of ocular health and arrange further medical advice if necessary. Many eye problems are treatable if detected early.
The eye test not only gives an accurate assessment of how well you see, it also gauges the general health of your eyes, and can lead to early identification of problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure and glaucoma.
What we check
More than how well you see.
Cataracts and macular degeneration
Problems with your eyelashes and eyelids
Visual field checks of your peripheral vision
Photographs of the back of your eye with our retinal camera
The pressure in your eyes
Signs of diabetes, high blood pressure and glaucoma
