Frequently Asked Questions
During the course of a normal week, we are asked many questions about eyes, and eyecare. Obviously the first person to ask about your eyes is your optician. We produce a number of fact sheets on a variety of topics which we supply to our patients. Some of these are duplicated here as PDF files for you to view, download and print if you wish. There is also a huge amount of information to be found on the internet, and a good place to start investigating further would be our links page.
Please let us know if there is a topic you would like to see covered here.
