How Much is an Eye Test? The Taylor-West & Co Eye Examinations

We believe in providing the most comprehensive eye examinations, which is why the Taylor-West & Co eye examination offers a more in-depth way of looking at things. When it comes to something as precious as your eyes, you’ll want the highest quality care possible to ensure your vision and eye health remains in their best condition.

We provide private, fully comprehensive, 60-minute, eye examinations using hospital-grade technology. This allows us to analyse the full extent of your eye health and your glasses prescription, as well as any health issues and potential warning signs for us to keep an eye on.

How Much is an Adult Eye Test?

Typically, a high street adult eye test will cost between £20 and £30. However private eye tests at Taylor-West & Co adopt a more focused and personalised approach. Our adult examination with Optomap and OCT scanning costs £125, or £9 per month on our monthly Care Plan.

Compared to a typical 20-minute high-street eye test, our adult eye examinations can take up to 60 minutes and, during this time, you’ll spend the entire time with your personal optometrist who will conduct your eye tests utilising OCT scans and Optomap wide-angle retinal imaging.

This equipment also allows us to identify early signs of certain diseases, such as diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and macular holes, up to eight years before commercially available eye tests.

As a general rule of thumb, we recommend booking an eye examination at least every two years in order to allow us to continue monitoring and tracking the health of your eyes over a long period.

During your appointment with us, you’ll also have the opportunity to discuss any hereditary risks to your eye health and sight in order to discuss whether you should be having more frequent eye tests.

If your optometrist has no concerns when it comes to your vision and your eye health, you’ll be recommended for your eye test every two years. However, if you do have any concerns that arise within those two years, such as an increase in headaches or a change in vision, then please do visit us at any time.

We believe the Taylor-West & Co eye examination is the most comprehensive and thorough eye test available to date. We pride ourselves on being upfront with our costs, and you’ll never be subject to any hidden charges or tier system that enforces an increase in your costs. Furthermore, if you need to repeat a test or have a referral letter written; it’s all included in your eye examination fee.
