Our eye consultation is a first-class tailored eye care examination aimed to detect early warning signs of eye disease. They're at the end of our bodies - and sometimes at the bottom of our list of priorities. But while most people don't give their feet a second thought, when something goes wrong with them it can be literally disabling. We aspire to be innovators in the Beauty industry. Fashions and styles come and go. We intend to be here through them all, giving you the warm, personal attention you deserve.

Our eye consultation is a first-class tailored eye care examination aimed to detect early warning signs of eye disease. A range of tests are carried out using the latest available technology - and a short description of each test is given on these pages so you know what to expect. We respect our patients' privacy and confidentiality throughout - this is our commitment to patients' health.
The ophthalmoscope also examines the optic nerve, commonly known as the blind spot. This is the nerve which transfers the signals from the retina to the brain allowing you to see. The ophthalmoscope can detect many problems with the eye, including a disease called glaucoma, and also problems with the rest of your body such as diabetes and raised blood pressure.
It examines the lids and lashes looking for any problems such as styes and conjunctivitis. It examines the clear layer on the front of your eye called the cornea which helps bend the light into your eye. The coloured part of your eye is called the iris and the white part the sclera. The lens in your eye allows you to focus on objects.
This test involves a few small puffs of air in to your eye which allows us to calculate the pressure of the fluid inside your eye. If the pressure gets too high, this can cause glaucoma which can cause damage to the optic nerve and peripheral vision. This disease is often asymptomatic; this is why it is very important to have regular check-ups - especially in patients aged over 40.

Daniel came into our office before Christmas with some promotional vouchers for us, he was really knowledgeable and very friendly and it was perfect timing!
My current lenses haven’t been fitting well for a while with having a stigmatism in both eyes and never been given the time to explore different lenses that would be a better fit and more comfortable and make my vision sharper.
I’ve always travelled to the metro centre to get my contact lenses and glasses but since Covid I prefer to stay local.
Working on Broadway this was perfect for me so Daniel got me booked in for a sight test and

Having had new lenses fitted to my spectacles in June I found that I was still struggling to read text on my monitor and on TV. Eventually I returned to HB Opticians near the beginning of November to ask if anything could be done to improve the situation.
I was delighted when I was offered another eye test from which further new lenses were fitted and was told that there would be no extra cost! I now can comfortably read most of what was just a blur earlier.
I couldn't have expected any better service than I received. HB Opticians at Broadway have my grateful thanks.
