Our Initial Diagnostic Appointments: Your First Step to Better Eye Health
At our clinic, we begin every patient’s journey with an initial diagnostic appointment to accurately assess their eye health and provide a foundation for personalised care. These appointments allow us to evaluate critical aspects of your eye health through advanced imaging, tests, and targeted treatments. Whether you’re experiencing general eye issues or have more complex concerns, our diagnostic appointments will help us understand your specific needs and develop an effective, tailored treatment plan.
We offer four types of initial diagnostic appointments, each with unique features to address different health requirements. Below is an outline of each option to guide you toward the best choice for your eye care.
1. Dry Eye Consult (Basic) - Priced at £115, this appointment includes:
- Anterior eye photos/videos using a slit lamp examination.
- A traditional review of tear break-up time, blink rate, and tear meniscus/quantity.
- Reporting and a personalised treatment plan.
2. Diagnostics Essentials - Costing £250 (with a saving of £45), it features:
