An eye examination should be comprehensive and unique to you — because every person's eyes are different.
At Eye Academy, we offer the most advanced eye examinations available outside of a hospital setting. Our optometrists are specialists with additional qualifications and hospital experience, bringing a depth of clinical expertise that goes far beyond a routine check.
We are among only a handful of opticians in the country offering 4D HD Optical Coherence Tomography scanning — the same technology used by NASA and leading hospital eye departments worldwide. Every examination is tailored entirely to you, with time taken to explain your results clearly and answer every question.
Choose from our range of private examination packages, from our comprehensive Bronze examination through to our full Platinum experience with state-of-the-art imaging.
Every package is a private, comprehensive examination — choose the level of imaging and investigation that suits you best.
A standard eye test checks what you can see on a chart. The Platinum examination reveals what could be happening inside your eye that you can't feel yet — conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic changes that are detectable years before symptoms appear.
Our Heidelberg Spectralis 4D OCT — the same machine used in NHS hospital eye departments — scans all three layers of your retina in high definition. Our optometrists on the GOC specialist register interpret every scan. No referral needed. No waiting list.
Leave knowing exactly where your eye health stands. The Gold examination pairs advanced retinal imaging with a full 60-minute consultation — time to discuss your results in detail, ask every question, and receive personalised advice on protecting your vision long-term.
Includes digital retinal photography plus all the clinical tests your optometrist needs to assess eye pressure, visual field, and corneal health — alongside a precise spectacle prescription update.
A thorough spectacle prescription check, combined with a comprehensive investigation into your overall eye health. Includes modern digital retinal photography and all the key clinical tests you would expect from a specialist independent practice.
A private eye examination for patients under 40 who are looking for a routine examination and an updated prescription. Comprehensive, clinical and performed by a specialist optometrist — a step above anything you'll find on the standard high street.
In addition to our standard examinations, we offer a range of specialist clinics for those requiring more targeted investigation.
