An eye examination isn't just about getting glasses. An eye exam is also an opportunity to check for potential eye diseases. I recommend you have an eye examination every 1-2 years to help pick up common eye problems such as cataract, glaucoma and macular degeneration as soon as possible. The sooner problems like this are picked up, the easier it is to fix them. An eye exam can also pick up problems elsewhere in the body such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol or diabetes.
If you need new glasses, I will return to fit your glasses correctly and I will return again if you need them adjusted or repaired for whatever reason.

Additional information:
I have over 20 years experience as an optometrist. I believe that every single person has a fundamental right to sight, and that right does not diminish when you are unable to leave your home.
As an independent optometrist I treat all my clients as I would like to be treated myself. There will be no rush and there will be no pressure to buy expensive glasses you might not need. What there will be is a high standard of clinical care delivered in a friendly, down to earth manner. Everything will be explained clearly to you.
