NHS eye tests in Scotland

In Scotland, NHS eye examinations are available to everyone as standard, and we are proud to offer these at our practice. Your eye exam is never rushed. We take the time to fully assess your eye health and vision, explaining everything clearly and in plain language.

Continuity you can trust

Many of our patients return year after year to see Morag or Carolyn, our experienced optometrists. With decades of experience and long-standing relationships, we believe continuity of care matters. Seeing the same optometrist means we get to know your eyes properly and can spot even the smallest changes over time.

Time to talk and personalised care

Your appointment is your time. We encourage you to ask questions, share any concerns and talk through your lifestyle and visual needs. Whether it’s work, driving, sport or social activities, we tailor our advice and recommendations to suit you as an individual.

Enhanced eye examinations with OCT

For patients who would like an even more detailed assessment, we offer enhanced eye examinations including OCT (optical coherence tomography) scanning. This advanced technology allows us to look beneath the surface of the eye, helping us detect potential issues earlier and giving you greater reassurance about your eye health.

Specialist eyecare services

Emergency eyecare

If you have a sudden concern about your eyes or vision, help is available. We can support you through our sister practice, Russell Opticians , where an IP qualified optometrist is available to manage urgent eye problems.

Dry eye service

If you suffer from dry, uncomfortable eyes, we offer a dedicated dry eye service using MYAH technology. This allows us to properly assess your symptoms and create a treatment plan designed to bring lasting comfort.

Home visit

We believe everyone deserves access to high-quality eye care, even if visiting the practice isn’t possible. Our Home Visit service brings the same level of expertise, compassion and thorough care directly to you, ensuring your eyes are well looked after in the comfort of your own home.
