Services
Eye Examination
Our comprehensive eye examinations use advanced technology to assess vision and eye health. Each 40-minute session includes retinal imaging, intraocular pressure checks, and binocular assessment. Optometrists tailor tests to individual needs, considering lifestyle factors and family eye health history.
Children's Eyecare
Specialised eyecare for children under 16, featuring playful diagnostic techniques and NHS-funded examinations. We detect vision issues affecting learning, offering durable, comfortable spectacles designed for young faces with sprung hinges and soft nose pads.
OCT Scan
3D Optical Coherence Tomography scans provide detailed cross-sectional views of retinal layers. This non-invasive test aids early detection of macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy, creating longitudinal health records for proactive eye care.
Diabetic Screening
NHS diabetic eye screening service with City and Guilds-qualified optometrists. Dilated pupil photography assesses retinal health, helping prevent diabetes-related vision loss. Patients receive specialist referrals if abnormalities are detected during screening.
Low Vision Assessments
Specialist evaluations for sight-impaired individuals, focusing on practical solutions. We provide magnification aids, lighting advice, and community support referrals to enhance daily living for patients with irreversible vision loss.

Thank you so much to The Eyeworks Upton for my new glasses. And a special thank you to manager Sara for going the extra mile to source a pair you didn't stock in the style I liked. Having never worn glasses before having a style that suit and fit well has helped so much and even better my headaches have gone

Not the best place to go,they have had me waiting 18 months between cataract surgery on both eyes,the hospital told me they did not do the correct work, no apology and no help at all.

. My previous optician had failed to flag up any problems and said that my vision hadn't changed but I was so concerned at my worsening sight that I decided to try Eyeworks. I was so impressed with their service, the efficiency of the staff, the thoroughness of the optician,the caring attitude ......no big sales push........and thankfully a hospital referral followed which put my mind at ease. Thank you for everything , I will certainly recommend you to all my friends.

Very thorough. Great technology. Reasonably priced frames with the best range I have seen anywhere. The fitting and measured adjustments make the finished product perfect (and also makes a complete nonsense of trying to buy glasses from cheap internet sites.) I wouldnt consider going anywhere else.
