Services
Extended Eye Examination
Our extended eye examination utilises OCT and Optomap technology to provide comprehensive ocular health assessments. This service detects early signs of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration through non-invasive 3D imaging. Patients receive detailed explanations of findings, with additional fees covering advanced diagnostics beyond standard NHS tests.
Eyecare Plans
Taylor Biddle Opticians's Eyecare Plans offer monthly payment options for enhanced optical services. Covering comprehensive exams, OCT scans, and discounts on eyewear, these plans provide value for spectacle wearers with benefits including two-year damage guarantees and regular follow-up appointments for ongoing eye health monitoring.
Myopia Control
Specialist myopia control services include Ortho-K lenses and MiYOSMART spectacles to slow progression in children. With management options from age 8, our programmes combine corrective technology and regular assessments to reduce long-term vision risks while providing practical solutions for active lifestyles.
Visual Stress Assessment
This one-hour assessment identifies light sensitivity and binocular vision issues affecting reading ability. Using colorimetry and pattern glare tests, we determine optimal coloured filters and vision therapy to alleviate symptoms like text distortion and eye strain, particularly beneficial for schoolchildren and digital screen users.
Emergency Eye Care
Available for Wolverhampton GP-registered patients, our CUES service treats minor eye conditions like foreign bodies and conjunctivitis. With same-day appointments and optometrist-led prescriptions, we provide urgent care solutions while coordinating hospital referrals for complex cases, ensuring timely treatment without unnecessary delays.
