NHS and Private Eye Tests in Exeter
Regular eye tests help maintain good vision and detect early signs of eye conditions. We offer NHS-funded and private eye tests at our Exeter practice. We assess vision, eye health, and screen for common conditions, including:
Glaucoma
Cataracts
Age-related macular degeneration
Diabetic retinopathy
OCT Advanced Eye Health Scans
Optical Coherence Tomography scans give a more detailed view of your eye health. We use light waves to create a 3D image of the retina, optic nerve and macula to detect subtle changes beneath the surface of the eye that help with early detection of:
Glaucoma
Macular degeneration
Diabetic eye disease
Retinal abnormalities
*The scan is quick, painless and non-invasive.
