Eye Examination
Greys Opticians provide a full range of NHS services and comprehensive private eye examinations. Whether you are an NHS or private patient, we will take time to ensure that all aspects of your eye care are expertly looked at. Our optometrists have on average worked in the same practice for 15 years and you can therefore be assured of continuity of care.
In addition to providing a reassuringly accurate assessment of your vision, routine eye tests are also very important in maintaining eye health and offer a window into your general health. At all our practices, we have the latest state-of-the-art technology available so we can quickly establish any potential problems and refer accordingly. We can refer through South Warwickshire and Gloucestershire NHS trusts (including Spa Medica who provide NHS services for cataract and macula degeneration), or privately through local ophthalmologists if you prefer. Rest assured, we will spend the time discussing your needs and ensure you have the highest quality eye care.
