Eyecare
Deterioration in eyesight can be so gradual that it sometimes goes unnoticed which is why a regular eye examination is so important. It can help give some insight into your own general health as well as eyesight conditions. At Eyes of Swavesey we're pleased to be able to offer Private Eye Examinations and NHS Eye Tests for both adults and children.
Eye examinations
Your eye examination will last for approximately 45 minutes to allow time for your optometrist to examine your eyes and vision thoroughly. In addition to all the standard tests we have the very latest OCT equipment in our practice, allowing us to acquire extremely detailed 3D images of important structures at the back of your eyes.
Why is an OCT scan important?
An OCT scan gives us more information about the health of your eye and can make it possible to detect eye conditions such as glaucoma and macular degeneration at an early stage. This allows us to refer you to a specialist for early diagnosis and treatment and to monitor conditions.
Who would benefit from an Enhanced Examination?
The simple answer is 'everyone'! However, there are some patients for whom it's especially important, including people who have:
- a family history of glaucoma
- diabetes
- a current eye condition that needs monitoring
- a history of eye problems
- a recommendation from a health care professional
- wider concerns that need longer discussion
- multiple health or eye issues
- a need for reassurance and peace of mind
Once your examination is complete, your optometrist will explain their findings to you, including any updates to your prescription that might be required. They’ll also be happy to answer any questions you may have, and can take the time to recommend suitable products for your needs, wants and lifestyle.
Our fees
- Enhanced Eye examination: £90.00 (or £50.00 if entitled to NHS)
- Enhanced examinations are free on Eyeplan
- Private Eye Examinations with a retinal photograph: £55 (or free on NHS)
- We also accept EyeMed vouchers
Please let our team know which type of eye examination you require when booking so we can allocate the correct amount of time for your appointment.

This is a fantastic independent opticians. Nothing is too much trouble for them. You are always warmly welcomed and never rushed. My eyesight is complex and Emma and Charlotte have worked so hard to maximise the sight and find the best glasses. I particularly like the continuity of an independent optician, the staff know you and you don't have to explain everything to a stranger on each visit. My lenses have been complex and expensive but Charlotte tries to keep the cost as low as possible when dispensing. I highly recommend this opticians.
Highly recommend Eyes of Swavesey - they really know what they’re doing. When they found my husband had a serious problem with his eye during a routine checkup, they immediately referred him to Addenbrooke’s for treatment - they take eye health very seriously and have all the technology needed to do the full range of tests, An excellent personal service, and lovely friendly staff who take their time to talk about options and help find the perfect frames from a huge range. Great location just off the A14 - I’d never go anywhere else
Always awesome with the whole families eye tests, but especially for our 6 and 8 year old who have been coming to the team for around 18months for their glasses. Beautiful frames and excellent service!!! Nothing is ever too much trouble. We love our trips to you!!
