OCT (3D Scan)
The introduction of our state-of-the-art OCT Eye Scanner allows our optometrists to detect any signs of eye disease at the earliest possible stage. This 3D scanner allows us to view each individual layer of the retinal tissue, which is impossible for our optometrist to view via the naked eye. Your scan results will bring peace of mind that your eyes have been examined to the best possible level.
Can I have an OCT Scan?
Yes! An OCT Scan can be conducted on anyone, at any age. The scan will capture a digital photograph of your eyes, whilst using light to illustrate the layers deep within the back of your eye. These images are then cross-referenced with your eye test results to review any areas of concern.
Our OCT Eye Scan allows us to accurately and painlessly detect numerous eye conditions, such as:
Macular degeneration
Glaucoma
Diabetic Eye Disease
As much as 80% of vision impairment and blindness can be prevented by early detection with an OCT eye scan, available right here at Hendry Opticians. Book your scan now.
Childrens Eye Care
Firstly, we completely understand that a test room can feel somewhat daunting for a child. We want to make sure both you and your child’s mind is put at ease when visiting Hendry Opticians, so our optometrists have learned and studied a variety of techniques to make sure every child that walks through our door feels as welcome and relaxed as possible.
Strong vision is key to your child’s development and hence, regular eye examinations are vital to a healthy eyesight. We recommend bringing your child for their first eye test at 3 years old, regardless of whether they can read the letters or pictures on the examination chart or not. We can test your child’s eyesight by using simple tests and lights, whilst examining how their eyes respond.
All children are entitled to free glasses from the NHS, and we stock a huge range of fun, child-friendly glasses for your little one to choose from. Repairs and replacements are also provided free of charge by the NHS.
