Optician Services: NHS Eye Tests
At K McGuinness Opticians, we want you to feel safe and have confidence in our eye examinations. During your NHS eye test, you will spend time with our optometrist who will undertake a detailed assessment of your eyes using the latest in eye care technology.
During your eye examination we will get to understand a little bit about you and your lifestyle, so we can tailor your eye care to your personal needs.
Our opticians use specialist eyecare equipment, including an OCT Scanner, which allows us to offer some specialist eye services and enhanced eye examinations which can help to detect eye conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.
You can rest assured that at K McGuinness we have the experience and expertise to carry out everything from a routine NHS eye test to advanced specialist eye care services.
NHS Eye tests are free if you’re in one of the eligible groups and your eye test is considered to be clinically necessary.

The NHS recommends that you get an eye test every two years (or more if advised by your optician.)
