Eye Examinations

At Eyes of Howick, our emphasis has always been on providing you with superb eye care. To put it simply, our comprehensive eye examinations take longer as we like to take the time to get to know you and your eyes.

What next?

On completion of the eye examination the Optometrist will discuss your results and advise you on the best course of corrective action such as getting a new pair of glasses or contact lenses.

In the event of any anomaly, remedial treatment will be suggested. For example if you have an eye infection or inflammation, your Optometrist will prescribe eye drop medication if required or you may be referred to an appropriate specialist for further attention. 

Recommendation of when you should return for your next eye examination will also be made and we will either phone, SMS or post you a reminder when that time comes. However, if you have concerns at any time prior to your next examination, please contact the team at Eyes of Howick.
