Why do I need a sight test?
Modern lifestyles, often involving heavy computer use, driving in all conditions and quite possibly watching too much television, mean eyes are now put under more strain than ever before. Having healthy, well looked after eyes can make a massive difference to your all round wellbeing, so getting them examined regularly is vital.
Using the very latest in eye examination technology we can quickly establish the state of your vision, the health of your eyes and also help with the early identification of a range of more general health conditions.
If your eyes have not been tested within the last 2 years, or 1 if you are over 40, we strongly recommend you have them examined soon.
An examination can be booked by phone, on-line or by visiting your nearest David Clulow Store and will take only 30 minutes.
What's involved in a David Clulow eye examination?
After asking you a few questions on your vision, general health, family, work and lifestyle in general, our opticians will examine your eyes for the following:
- Vision quality
- Unaided and aided (with any glasses or contacts
you already use)
- Eye muscle performance and health
- Internal eye health, ideally using our state of the art
Retinal Scanner*
- Front of eye health - eye fluid pressure
* Retinal screening is available at a supplementary charge of £10
Further test for depth perception, colour vision and visual field may also be performed if required.
All these tests are carried out using the very best in eye examination technology and with your David Clulow optician providing step by step explanations, so that you know what’s involved at each stage.
Retinal Screening
Retinal screening, and the detailed retinal images it provides, allows our opticians to look in far greater detail at the health of your inner eye. Regular retinal screening allows them to make year on year comparisons of your eyes’ health, to easily detect any changes.
What’s involved?
You simply rest your chin and forehead on the pads of the screening machine whilst photographs of your inner eye are taken. At no point do we touch your eye, or cause any discomfort and the whole process only takes a matter of minutes.
At the end of the examination your optician will discuss your eye health and vision with you and recommend the best options in terms of eyewear, if required. And by choosing a David Clulow eye examination you can rely on industry leading aftercare and a comprehensive range of the latest eyewear styles, including prescription ready sports performance frames, from a host of top brands as well as our exclusive David Clulow range.
