At Zacks Eye Clinic in central London W1 we recommend that regular eye examinations are a vital part of any health care programme. They are essential to ensure normal visual development in children and for the early detection of conditions affecting the eyes and general health. We provide several specialist examinations, a corporate scheme for local London based companies and diabetic retinal screening. Same day appointments are usually available for people who need to be seen urgently.
The Eye Examinations
Every new patient is given a full eye examination which takes approximately half an hour. The spectacle prescription is ascertained by different objective and subjective methods and the eyes are examined externally and internally for conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, macula degeneration and retinal detachments. Retinal photographs are taken using a digital fundus camera and the images are stored on a computer for comparison on future visits. The effects of conditions such as diabetes and raised blood pressure can also be detected and monitored with our imaging systems. Additional tests for binocular vision, intra-ocular pressures, visual field analysis and colour vision are performed when necessary.
