Why Choose iSpy for Your Eye Examination?
We approach eye examinations a little differently to the norm. Every appointment is carried out by an experienced optometrist, with around 30 minutes set aside to understand your eyes, your lifestyle and what matters most to you.
No two pairs of eyes are the same, so why should every eye test be? There are no hidden extras, no unnecessary add‐ons and no rushing you through the door. We explain everything clearly, answer your questions honestly and want you to leave feeling informed, reassured and confident.
It may sound a little old‐fashioned, but we still believe clinical excellence comes first. That’s why we combine experienced clinicians with advanced technology, including OCT and retinal imaging whenever it’s clinically appropriate, at no extra cost.
