Eye Examinations
Report
We tailor every eye examination for a patient's individual needs. An eye examination is necessary should you have concerns about your vision or a problem with the health of your eyes or simply a routine visit to ensure good ocular health and vision. Our Optometrists will listen carefully to concerns you may express and be happy to answer questions you may have.
Childrens Eye Examinations
Report
At Banks Opticians we believe it is vital to have a child's eyes examined before they begin school life. We can effectively examine children from approximately 2 and a half to 3 years of age. We have a range of tests specifically designed for children that make the experience fun and examine particularly for hypermetropia (long-sightedness), squint, amblyopia (lazy eye), three-dimensional vision and colour vision.
Diabetic Retinopathy Screening
Report
People with diabetes are at risk of an eye disease known as diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy leads to changes at the retina, the back of the eye, which can cause partial or severe loss of vision if left untreated. Occasionally, despite good vision, you may have diabetic retinopathy and be unaware of it.
Digital Retinal Photography
Report
We have recently installed new Digital retinal cameras at our Acocks Green and Sparkhill branch. This enables us to take a photograph of the back of your eye, allowing us to assess and monitor the health of your eyes more accurately. You can see what we see; increasing your understanding of conditions we may need to explain.

Absolutely horrendous.I have tried to call but no one answers.i have called about 13 times and have spent 30 minutes talking to voicemail.The amount of laziness is unbearable.I once went in for a frame repair and all I heard was the phone continuously going off it's like the staff are un aware or not bothered to pick up.

Thanks to their pretentiousness, arrogance and egos, the appointment (which they insisted on me having) turned out to be a complete waste of my time!! What they ended up telling me required no appointment at all. A little customer care in answering a few questions on the day I walk in the week prior, was all it needed. Ridiculous! #ButToEachTheirOwn
