Specsavers Walton-on-Thames offers customers access to state-of-the-art pre-room testing diagnostic equipment. Customers can choose to have an OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) 3D scan, which is hospital-grade, advanced diagnostic, eye-scanning equipment that can help detect eye conditions, including glaucoma, up to four years earlier than traditional testing. Customers pay an extra £5 for the scan.
The store also offers Minor Eye Care Services (MECS) providing enhanced services, such as the management of red eyes, flashes and floaters and dry eyes, offering support to the local GP practices.
During an eye test, Specsavers’ optometrists will assess your vision as well as check the overall health of your eyes so it’s important to have regular eye tests, even if you aren’t experiencing any eye issues or symptoms.
