The 4D Eye-Health Check is much more than your standard sight test. It uses a high-tech OCT Scan of your eyes to look for very early signs of retinal disease.
You may be unaware of a disease in your eye until you begin having vision problems – this can often mean that significant, possibly irreversible, damage to your eye has already occurred.
One in two cases of sight loss can be avoided through early detection and receiving the right treatment at the right time.
We will keep a record of all your check-ups and be able to compare past scans of your eye with current ones to look for any changes which might affect your vision.
Offering you the peace of mind that comes with knowing your eyes are healthy and that your optometrist will see the smallest change before you do.
You will simply sit at the instrument and we will scan your eye using a light beam. The scan only takes a few seconds and you can blink normally. You will suffer no discomfort and the camera will not touch your eye.
After the examination, your vision will not be impaired. If your optometrist does not need to use drops to dilate your pupil for the purposes of the examination, you can drive as usual.
The 4D Eye-Health Check via OCT Scan may not be the only examination required to assess the health of your eye. Your optometrist will be able to explain to you exactly what examinations you need and what they involve.
