READ AT YOUR OWN PACE
Useful information, without the medical fog.
These articles can help you prepare for an appointment and understand useful questions to ask. They provide general information only and do not replace an eye examination, a medical diagnosis or advice for your individual circumstances.

Eye care guides: examinations, lenses and visual symptoms
Understand what happens during an eye examination, when a screening is useful and when a fuller assessment or referral may be needed.

- Choosing and paying for eye care
A QUESTION IS A GOOD PLACE TO START
Worried about a change in your vision?
You do not need to diagnose the cause yourself. Tell the practice what you have noticed and we will help you identify the most suitable next step. Sudden or severe symptoms should receive urgent medical assessment rather than wait for a routine appointment.
