We will still require you to wear a mask to enter the practice unless you are medically exempt. We have vulnerable patients we must protect along with protecting our staff. It is important to remember the pandemic has not ended. This guidance is in line with the advice from the College of Optometrists. Routine eye examinations are still available on a needs basis and when in the patients best interests.

Services
Established in Congleton, Cheshire in 1984, Lyn Thompson's original practice was in what is now Weatherspoons.
We moved to 27 West Street, and then to our current location at 5 West Street in 1996.
In 2013 we were delighted to be able to enlarge our premises by expanding into number 7 West Street.
The newly equiped extension is called Congleton Eyecare Centre.
Today optometry is not merely supplying spectacles and contact lenses; there are many different facets involved including Diabetic screening, glaucoma co-management, cataract referral, orthoptics and children's eye care, to name but a few.

Having outgrown our 5 West Street practice where we have been based since 1996, we decided to expand sideways into no 7.
With this expansion in space we decided to expand in services and staff.
These enhancements are.
Our Congleton practice has two new spacious test rooms with 'state of the art' equipment.
This has allowed us to introduce a much wider range of enhanced services not provided by the NHS such as our same day acute eye service.

For some people glasses alone do not give the vision needed to comfortably read or perform daily tasks.
There are many eye conditions that can cause low vision.
Some examples of these conditions are age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and maculopathy, retinitis pigmentosa and albinism.
These conditions affect the eye in different ways, therefore it is important that the impact is fully understood in order to utilise the best possible vision available.
During a regular eye examination we might suggest to patients that some low vision aids would be useful and suggest a further appointment to demonstrate some of these aids.

We offer a specialist Dry Eye Clinic where we ask questions about your specific symptoms then we have a closer look at your lids, lashes and the front surface, tear film of your eyes.
After this assessment we will recommend treatments which you can use for a couple of weeks and then return for a follow up assessment.
Many millions of people may suffer from dry eyes from time to time and many will be unaware of the symptoms.
Moderate dry eye may affect vision more, and will probably affect quality of life a lot more because of chronic pain, eye sensitivity, light sensitivity and restricted activities.
