Yes. I have invested in the latest specialist portable equipment to ensure a thorough eye examination. I have been a member of the General Optical Council and the College of Optometrist for over 25 years.
Eye tests are free in Scotland and there is no charge for the optometrist to come to your house.
Glasses vary in price. If you receive certain benefits, such as Pension Credit guarantee, then we havea range of frames to choose from completely free. If you don’t get help with the cost of your glasses, then we will make the prices as clear as possible. You are under no obligation to buy your glasses from us and we are happy to come back at another time if you want to have a think about it first.
Yes. In fact, I encourage my patients to have someone else present. And you can arrange an evening or weekend appointment to make this more suitable.
Everyone should have an eye examination every 2 years. If you’re over 70 you should have an eye examination every year. However, if you notice any changes to your vision, don’t wait. Make an appointment to get your eyes checked right away.
There’s not much to do before a home visit. Look out your old glasses and keep a list of your medication handy. Ideally, the eye test would take place in a room with good curtains or blinds. Also, if you can sit on a dining room chair then that’s best. But don’t worry if you can’t – I can perform an eye examination even if you’re confined to bed.
Many behaviours, such as becoming withdrawn, being clumsy, being startled or disorientated may actually be due to sight loss rather than dementia. It is vital to rule out visual problems before blaming the dementia. I can tailor the eye exam and use specialist equipment if communication is difficult.
