Why the NHS sight test doesn’t help slow readers
The NHS Sight Test, often known as an eye exam or vision screening, primarily assesses visual acuity (how far you can see down the test chart) and the ability to see clearly at a distance.
Eyewear
When it comes to eyewear we pride ourselves on being at the forefront of technology and design. We regularly meet with our suppliers, both in Practice and at exhibitions to ensure we know what the latest fashions are and what technologies are being used to push the boundaries of both spectacle frames and lens manufacturing.
We are independent
As an Independent Optician, we can source an extensive range of spectacle frames and speak with the people who design and market them. As our Dispensing Opticians are at the face of the business, this team do our buying to ensure that we can match what our patients want.
Our team try out the latest lens technologies to fully understand the benefits they can offer our patients. Whether this be filters to assist with driving glare, photochromic (colour changing) contact lenses, tailor made varifocal designs or precision tints to assist with migraines. We also run frequent training sessions with our teams to share knowledge, trends and experiences to ensure we are all working to offer the best possible solutions to our patients.
