Services
Regular eye exams are vital to maintaining your vision and overall eye health.
We offer the optomap as an important part of our comprehensive eye examination.
The optomap scan produces a unique image that provides us with a high-resolution 200° (80%) view of your retina.
This is much wider than a traditional camera 45° (15%) picture image that most opticians have.
A number of eye problems can develop without you knowing and you may not even notice any change in your sight.
Other health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure, can also be seen with a thorough exam of the retina.

I've have been going to various opticians for the past 30 years and I have to say this is the best service I have received. Where as other chain opticians throw any glasses at you to get you out of the store asap, these actually take time to find ones which suit you and your prescription the best. I will be going there again.

I have used Birds opticians several times and always successfully. Twice they have replaced damaged lenses in frames I already owned and this has worked very well. I have also purchased prescription sunglasses. The staff are pleasant and professional. Excellent information provision and sympathetic advice. Highly recommended.
