A standard eye test lasts for approximately half an hour and the optician will use a range of tests tailored to your individual needs.

From your eye test through to finding the perfect frames and lenses for clear, comfortable vision, we will take the time to ensure that all aspects of your eye care are expertly looked after.
WHY SHOULD WE HAVE AN EYE TEST?
Having clear, comfortable vision is paramount and we always use the very latest in eye examination technology to ensure that we can provide an accurate assessment of your vision.
Regular eye tests also gauge the general health of your eyes and can result in the early identification of other eye problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
Our eye tests can be booked over the phone, online or by visiting your nearest David Clulow Opticians store.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU HAVE AN EYE TEST?
Whatever your age, we recommend that you have an eye examination at least every two years. For people aged over 70, we recommend an eye test every year or more often if recommended by your Opticians.

WHAT'S INVOLVED?
You can be rest assured that although having an eye test is a very straightforward process; all our examinations are very thorough. Lasting approximately half an hour, one of our opticians will look closely at all aspects of your vision and eye health.
A few questions will be asked about your sight, general health, your family’s health and your lifestyle.
There are lots of different tests that can be carried out during your eye examination so your optician will tailor this to suit your individual needs. While testing your eyes, the optician will look at the following:
Vision quality
- Unaided and aided vision (with any glasses or contact lenses you already use)
- Eye muscle performance and health
- Internal eye health – ideally using our state of the art Retinal Scanner
- Front of eye health, including eye fluid pressure
- Further tests for depth perception, colour vision and visual field may also be performed if required
All of our tests are carried out using the very best in eye examination technology and your optician will provide step-by-step explanations so you know exactly what is involved at each stage.

LEADING EYECARE TECHNOLOGY?
We believe the best care relies on the best equipment. That’s why we’ve invested in advanced imaging technology across many of our locations.
Retinal Imaging
This non-invasive test captures high-resolution photos of your retina, allowing us to assess and monitor:
- Circulatory health
- Signs of chronic conditions
- Year-on-year changes in your eye health
It’s included at no charge for clients over 40, and recommended on a clinical basis for those under 40.
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
Available at the majority of our stores. OCT uses light waves to scan the retina in detail. This technology helps us spot early signs of eye disease before symptoms arise — ensuring peace of mind and proactive care.
LEADING EYECARE AND FASHION BRANDS?
At David Clulow Opticians, we have the latest styles from the leading brands such as Prada, Chanel, Ray-Ban, Persol, Oliver Peoples, Oakley and many more. See all our Glasses brands. Our staff will dedicate sufficient time in finding the right frame for you.
