Private eye examination

When you book your eye examination you’ll benefit from a number of essential checks, specifically designed to keep your eyesight and general health in the best possible condition.

 

At Ryatt Optometry we’ll test your vision and check your eyes for diseases like glaucoma or cataracts, as well as other general health problems such as diabetes or high blood pressure.

Should your vision require correcting, your optometrist will advise you of your prescription options such as glasses or contact lenses.

 

Your eye examination will include:

  • A full visual check including peripheral vision

  • Ocular health check

  • Eye pressure check

  • Retina check including photographing the back of your eye

 

We also offer an OCT Scan at an additional cost to patients who may need it.

 

After your eye examination, if you need new glasses we stock the latest up-to-date brands. We'll help you choose the right spectacles that not only look good, but also feel great.

Urgent eyecare (CUES)

CUES (COVID URGENT EYECARE SERVICES)  IS A COMPLETELY FREE SERVICE OFFERED TO ALL PATIENTS REGISTERED WITH A G.P. 

 

Mr Ryatt is an accredited CUES practitioner. The service was created for patients with the following symptoms:

● Irritation and inflammation of the eye
● Significant recent sticky discharge from the eye or watery eye
● Recently occurring flashes or floaters

The CUES scheme has been created to offer a diagnosis and treatment for patients experiencing ocular problems WITHOUT the need for a G.P. referral/appointment. 

 

Major eye conditions e.g. cataracts, diabetic retinopathy or glaucoma that are being regularly monitored by an optometrist or eye hospital will not be covered by this service.

 

Initially this service is carried out via a telephone consultation followed by a face to face appointment if required.
