NHS and private eye tests
At Sanford Opticians, we ensure to tailor each test according to your requirements as we have many different ways of testing your eyes. The eye test doesn't simply measure what you see, it also checks the health of your eyes and can provide an insight into possible general health problems, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and thyroid disease. We use the latest technology and equipment during eye tests to ensure we achieve maximum results. The Thompson Test Chart uses 3D technology to help test muscle balance and can randomise the chart to ensure patients aren't relying on their memory during the test. Please feel welcome to ask any questions you might have.

During an eye test, we will check:
- Your binocular vision - ensure your eyes are working well together and help reduce the strain when doing intensive work on the computer
- The blood vessels - checking your vascular health and cholesterol levels
- Glaucoma - a very treatable form of blindness which is virtually symptomless in the early stages, regular eye tests will detect this
- Peripheral vision
Children's eye tests
It is important for children's eye sight to be tested regularly as their vision changes as they grow. They should be tested from 4 years old and onwards to ensure they are seeing as well as they should be. We sell Baby Banz glasses and frames to help protect their eyes from harmful UV rays. You'd protect your child's skin from the sun, so be sure to protect their eyes as well.
