Eye Examinations

Did you know that in Scotland you are entitled to a free eye examination every two years? We use the latest technology to ensure you get the best possible eyecare.

Regular eye examinations are a vital part of health care. Hughes & McHugh offer the full range of specialist eye examinations.

Eye examinations are an essential health check to detect sight-threatening conditions such as cataracts, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. An eye examination may also detect other underlying health issues.

In Scotland, all UK residents are eligible for a free eye examination once every two years. If you are over sixty, under sixteen or diabetic you are entitled to a free annual examination.

We are currently registering new patients, so simply contact us to arrange a suitable appointment.

All new patients are given a comprehensive eye examination that will check your eyes for all the conditions above and many more. Techniques such as Ocular Coherence Tomography can detect conditions below the retinal surface which may otherwise go undetected.

We store all retinal imagery for future comparison to enable us to monitor any deterioration in the health of your eyes.

Diabetic Screening

Diabetes seriously affects many parts of your body and increases the risk of eye conditions such as cataracts and glaucoma. Diabetic retinopathy can lead to serious eye problems and in severe cases can eventually lead to complete blindness.

An eye examination can diagnose diabetes-related eye problems at an early stage and give you a chance to develop a suitable treatment plan with your doctor.
