Eye Checks

We provide a comprehensive range of specialised eye examinations designed to give you a complete understanding of your eye health. Our advanced testing allows us to assess everything from your vision clarity and prescription needs through to the early detection of eye conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, and retinal issues. Using modern diagnostic technology, we also evaluate eye pressure, peripheral vision, corneal health, and tear function, ensuring no aspect of your eye health is overlooked. Whether you’re coming in for a routine check-up or have specific concerns, our thorough approach means we can detect problems early and provide the right advice and treatment to protect your vision long-term.

Eye Treatments
At Harris Blake & Parsons, we help with a range of eye concerns, from everyday vision needs to more specific issues. That might be glasses to help you see more clearly, treatment for eye infections, or support for dry, irritated eyes. We also offer advanced dry eye treatment using specialised IPL technology, which can help improve tear quality and provide longer-lasting relief. On top of that, we provide treatment for lazy eye and myopia management to help slow short-sightedness, especially in kids. Whatever you’re dealing with, we’ll take the time to figure it out and talk you through the best way forward.

I cannot recommend HBP enough. I got sick of my vision always feeling not quite right with glasses prescribed by major optometrists some years ago, so switched to HBP at the recommendation of my parents, who had been long time customers. The difference in the quality of the lenses they use is very noticeable to me. I've now been coming here exclusively for a long time and am always very well looked after. Amy Chan is a wonderful optometrist. Very knowledgeable, caring, great at explaining the what's going on when things go wrong with my eyes - and generally really looks after you. Great sense of humour too! I would not go anywhere else now.

I was absolutely blown away with this service provider, their staff really know what they are doing, and they do it extremely well. the examination was thorough the result was a very clear view, of which I have never quite had before.. Highly, highly recommend seeing them for your next eye examination. Or if you feel like a really funky, fun pair of glasses

HB&P are the superstars of optometry, service and advice! Dina A and the team always go above and beyond, ordering in frames to suit in advance so that there are lots to choose from on the day. Having been a client for many years you won’t find me going anywhere else!

My examination was quite thorough, issues I already had were appropriately reviewed and explained very well. I felt very confident that my eye health is in very competent hands. Whilst my eyesight has changed a little bit since my last test, we happily concurred that it was not enough to warrant changing my glasses. There was no sales push.
