Your Sight

Having your eyes tested can feel like a bit of a chore but it doesn’t need to be. Here at Pollard Optical we understand how important your eye test is, not just to buy new glasses but also to give an indication of your general health. An eye test can often show up indications of eye diseases such as Glaucoma, which is the second most common cause of blindness and can be prevented. We can also help spot diabetes and high blood pressure while we are testing your eyes. Regular eye tests also make sure that you do not have retinal damage and to prevent your vision from getting worse.
