Regular
Eye Tests & Examinations

Having an eye test is not only about buying glasses. It enables us to pick up early signs of eye conditions such as glaucoma and cataracts, as well as possibly detecting underlying general health problems, including diabetes and high blood pressure.

Our highly trained team of optometrists and support staff will make you feel comfortable during your visit and ensure that every step of your eye test and examination process is fully explained to you. We will be pleased to answer any questions you may have before, during or after your visit and ensure that you are happy with any recommendations.

Eye Diagram

Take a look at our diagram below to see the names of the different parts of your eye.

Vitreous Humour
The Vitreous Humour occupies approximately 80% of each eye and is a perfectly transparent substance which, fills the chamber behind the lens.

Lens
The Lens is located behind the pupil of the eye and is enclosed in a thin transparent capsule. The lens is able to refract light travelling through the eye and focuses the light into an image.

Cornea
The Cornea is the front part of your eye which covers the Pupil and the Iris. It is the Cornea that contributes to most of the eyes focusing.

Pupil
The Pupil is the circular opening which is located in the centre of the Iris. It is the Pupil that controls the amount of light that enters the eye and looks black as most of the light is absorbed by tissues that are inside eye.

Iris
The Iris is a membrane that is responsible for controlling the amount of light that reaches the retina.

Sclera
The Sclera is mainly known as the white of the eye and is the tough opaque tissue that serves as the outer coat that protects the eye.

Optic Nerve
The Optic Nerve connects to the back of the eye near the Macula. It is the Optic Nerve that transmits electrical impulses from the retina to the brain.

Retina
The Retina is a light sensitive tissue that lines the inner surface of the eye.

Aqueous Humour
The Aqueous Humour is a thin watery fluid that fills the space between the Cornea and the Iris.
