FAQ

Eye test FAQs for Shepherds Bush

Answers about NHS and private eye tests, OCT scans, contact lenses and same-day glasses at Specialeyes Eyecare in Shepherds Bush, West London.

What happens during an eye test at your Shepherds Bush optician?

Your optometrist checks your vision and eye health, with tests selected for your needs. Bring your current glasses or contact lenses, any recent prescription, and a list of medicines you take.

Do you offer NHS and private eye tests in Shepherds Bush?

Specialeyes Eyecare offers NHS sight tests for eligible patients and private eye tests. Contact us when booking if you’re unsure which appointment is right for you.

Am I eligible for a free NHS eye test?

Eligibility depends on factors such as your age, eye-health history and some benefits. Check the NHS eligibility guidance, or call us and we can help you check.

How often should I have an eye test?

Many people are advised to have their eyes tested at least every two years, but your optometrist may recommend a different interval for your needs. Book sooner if you notice a change in your vision.

Is an OCT scan included with an eye test?

Specialeyes Eyecare includes a free OCT retinal scan with every eye test. OCT is a quick, non-invasive scan that produces detailed images of the retina to help your optometrist assess eye health.

What is the difference between an eye test and a contact lens appointment?

An eye test checks your vision and eye health and provides a glasses prescription. Contact lenses need additional checks and measurements, so you’ll need a contact lens assessment and a valid contact lens prescription.

Can I get glasses made the same day in Shepherds Bush?

Our on-site glazing lab can make some prescriptions the same day. Timing depends on your prescription, lens type and frame availability, so call us before travelling if you need glasses urgently.

How do I book, change or cancel an appointment?

Book an eye test online or call 020 8743 7552. Please phone the practice if you need to change or cancel so the team can help.
