Eye Exams
Barton Eyecare offers comprehensive NHS and private eye exams to detect vision issues and eye diseases early. Our opticians use advanced technology, including OCT scans, to assess eye health thoroughly. Regular exams ensure optimal vision correction and proactive management of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration.
Contact Lenses
We provide custom contact lens fittings for all prescriptions, including multifocals and complex cases. Modern materials ensure comfort and clarity, with options for daily, weekly, or monthly wear. Our team guides patients to the best lenses for their lifestyle and visual needs.
Glasses
Barton Eyecare offers a wide range of glasses, from affordable to premium frames, with expert dispensing advice. Our opticians ensure frames fit comfortably and complement facial features while meeting visual requirements. We also provide reglazing and adjustments for existing spectacles.
OCT Scans
OCT scans use cutting-edge technology to capture detailed images of the retina and optic nerve. This non-invasive test detects early signs of conditions like diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. Included free in private eye exams, it enhances long-term eye health monitoring.
Dry Eye Clinic
Our dry eye clinic addresses symptoms caused by modern lifestyles, such as screen use and environmental factors. We diagnose underlying causes and offer treatments like specialised drops and lid hygiene routines. Personalised care plans alleviate discomfort and improve ocular surface health.
