Proactive Vision Care for Every Stage of Life
Regular eye screening is about more than checking your prescription, it’s about protecting your vision before problems arise. At London Eye & Retina, our eye screening services are designed to detect early signs of eye disease, support eye comfort, and guide treatment where needed.
Whether you’re booking your child’s first vision check, monitoring a long-term condition, or preparing for licensing or employment certification, we provide tailored screenings for every age and concern.
1. Adult & Child Eye Screening
Routine screening is essential, even when vision feels “normal.” Some conditions like glaucoma or early retinal disease progress silently.
Adult Eye Screening Includes:
- Visual acuity testing
- Eye pressure measurement
- Retinal imaging
- Refraction (for prescription updates)
- Screening for age-related conditions like cataracts, AMD, and glaucoma
Child Eye Screening Focuses On:
- Amblyopia (lazy eye) detection
- Refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism)
- Eye alignment (strabismus)
- Binocular vision and tracking skills
We use child-friendly methods and age-appropriate tools to make the process stress-free.
2. Cornea Wellness
The cornea is the clear outer layer of the eye and plays a vital role in focusing vision. Our cornea wellness assessments are especially useful for:
- Contact lens wearers
- Individuals considering laser vision correction
- Patients with dry eyes or recurrent redness
Screening Includes:
- Corneal topography (mapping the surface)
- Tear film evaluation
- Detection of conditions like keratoconus or corneal dystrophies
3. Eyelid Health
Healthy eyelids support eye comfort and prevent infection. Issues such as blepharitis, meibomian gland dysfunction, or styes can cause chronic discomfort or dry eye symptoms.
Our screening includes:
- Eyelid and lash margin examination
- Meibomian gland imaging
- Oil gland function evaluation
- Recommendations for hygiene, warm compresses, or treatment if needed
4. Myopia Prevention
Myopia (short-sightedness) is on the rise in children worldwide, especially in urban settings. Early screening and preventive strategies can help slow its progression.
We assess:
- Axial length (eye growth)
- Prescription changes
- Lifestyle risk factors (screen time, outdoor activity)
Prevention strategies may include:
- Atropine eye drops
- Specialised myopia control lenses
- Lifestyle counselling for screen and reading habits
5. Prescription Eye Drop Review
If you’re using long-term prescription eye drops, for glaucoma, allergies, or dry eye, it’s important to review their effectiveness and monitor for side effects.
Our eye drop reviews include:
- Intraocular pressure monitoring
- Ocular surface health check
- Review of compliance and drop technique
- Adjustment of treatment plan as needed
This is particularly important for patients on multiple medications or those managing chronic conditions.
6. Digital Eye Strain
Extended screen use can lead to symptoms like eye fatigue, dryness, and headaches. Known as digital eye strain or computer vision syndrome, it’s increasingly common in both adults and children.
Our screening assesses:
- Eye focusing and convergence
- Tear film quality
- Visual ergonomics (distance, posture, lighting)
We’ll provide personalised strategies, including screen breaks, lens filters, and blink training to reduce strain and support long-term eye comfort.
7. Eye Certifications: Driving, Employment, and More
We provide certified vision screening for:
- Vehicle licence applications and renewals
- Pre-employment medicals
- Workplace safety assessments (for roles requiring specific visual standards)
Assessments follow relevant authority guidelines and include documentation for submission to driving centres, HR departments, or licensing boards.
