Award-Winning Eye Care

Eye Examinations

At First Contact Opticians, it has always been our purpose to help to improve and preserve our patients’ vision. We believe that regular examinations are the best way to maintain and protect your vision and eye health, which is why we created the First Contact Care Plan.

During your 30 minute examination we will conduct a series of diagnostic tests to establish the overall health of your eyes. Each examination is tailored to the individual, and where necessary supplementary tests may be recommended.

Once your examination is complete we will take the time to address any concerns you may have had, explain all the results, and then make recommendations surrounding vision correction that are appropriate to you and your lifestyle.

We have always taken great pride in being early adopters of the latest technology, which allows us to provide additional clinical services such as a dry eye clinic. These may be recommended at your examination, but are also available upon request.

It is also important not to forget your children’s eyesight, even if you have no concerns. Without good vision, children can experience setbacks in their development that could have been avoided with simple and regular eye examinations. Our resident optometrist Samir has a special interest in paediatric optometry and recommends having children’s eyes examined at least once a year, starting from the age of four years old.

I have been coming to First Contact Opticians for as long as I can remember. They supported me through my first ever pair of glasses and then moved me onto contacts which I love. All staff members are kind, generous and caring as they all make you feel comfortable and welcomed. Not only this, but they have brilliant knowledge and expertise. They keep on top of your appointments and ensure that the health of your eyes are a priority.

My eye test with First Contact Opticians was a lovely experience. The staff were professional, polite and attentive. The facilities were also very clean. I was even politely informed prior to it that my appointment may be delayed slightly so no unnecessary waiting. I would definitely recommend their services.
