Eye Examinations

Gardiners Opticians provides a full range of professional ophthalmic services to care for your eyesight and to aid in the detection of abnormal eye conditions (such as glaucoma, cataracts and diabetes). We can prescribe corrective spectacle lenses and contact lenses to correct your vision as required. 

The eye examination is tailored to your requirements and any symptoms you may be experiencing. The results are discussed, so that the outcome best suits your needs. Routine eye exams should be carried out every two years, or earlier if the Optometrist recommends it. 

An eye examination usually takes about 40 minutes, in which your history and symptoms are recorded. Ophthalmoscopy is performed to assess the health of the external and internal eye to screen for eye disease. Lenses are used and subjective questions asked to determine if a spectacle correction is required.
