The Importance of Regular Eye Tests
Attending regular eye tests is essential for maintaining good eye health and ensuring you have the correct prescription. If you spend long hours working on a computer, we can assess whether blue light filter glasses would benefit you or if eye pressure monitoring is necessary. Regular check-ups also help keep your prescription up to date, whether for contact lenses, glasses, or polarised sunglasses.
The NHS recommends that adults over 16 have an eye test every two years. However, if we detect any changes in your vision, our team will advise you if an earlier test is needed.
If you’ve noticed changes in your eyesight or prescription, whether for glasses or contact lenses, get in touch with our friendly team today to book an appointment.

Advanced Eye Examinations with OCT
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a powerful tool in detecting and monitoring eye conditions. Previously only available in hospitals for complex cases, this advanced technology is now used by a select number of opticians, including Goldsmith & Harvey. We believe our patients should have access to the highest level of care, which is why we have invested in OCT scanning.
OCT works similarly to an MRI scan, capturing detailed images of the inner layers of the eye. These high-resolution, 3D cross-sections are available almost instantly and can be enlarged for thorough examination. This allows our optometrist to detect early signs of eye conditions and track changes over time. The process is completely non-invasive and painless—simply rest your chin on the support, follow our guidance, and let the OCT scanner do the work.
