Care around you

A clearer picture of your vision and eye health.

An eye test is about more than updating your glasses. It is an opportunity to check how comfortably your eyes work together, review your prescription and look for changes in eye health that may not yet be causing symptoms.

At Drury Porter Eyecare, our Russell Square team takes time to understand what has changed, from screen-heavy work and headaches to night driving or difficulty reading. We then explain the findings in straightforward language and agree the right next step with you.

Is this right for me?

This appointment may help if you need:

  • Routine prescription and eye-health reviews
  • New headaches, blur or visual fatigue
  • Children, students, adults and older patients
  • Advice on glasses, lenses or further testing

What to expect

Clear advice, not a rushed transaction.

01

What happens during your eye test

Your appointment begins with your symptoms, eye history, general health and current eyewear. The optometrist then checks your vision and prescription, how the eyes coordinate, and the visible health of the front and back of the eyes. The exact tests are adapted to your age, needs and findings.

  • Vision and prescription assessment
  • Eye coordination and focusing checks
  • Eye-health examination
  • A clear explanation of results and options

Advanced testing when it adds value

Drury Porter has access to diagnostic technology including OCT, retinal imaging, visual fields and corneal topography. Additional tests are recommended when they are clinically useful; the team will explain why a test is advised and any applicable fee before proceeding.
