Why Do I Need an Eye Test?

Regular eye tests check more than your prescription. They help detect eye conditions and signs of wider health problems, often before you notice any symptoms.

Our qualified optometrists in Market Drayton recommend an eye test every two years for most adults, unless advised otherwise.

What Happens During an Eye Examination?

Your eye examination takes approximately 25–35 minutes. Our optometrist will guide you through a series of simple, painless checks to assess your vision, prescription and eye health.

We’ll explain your results and advise whether glasses or any further care would benefit you.
