At The Opticians Easingwold, you can be confident that you will receive a full and thorough examination. Our routine examinations for adults are booked in at 30 minute intervals, allowing us plenty of time with each individual patient.

OCT

We have invested in the latest eye testing equipment including Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), which can detect a number of common eye conditions, such as glaucoma, age related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy, during a routine eye test. This piece of equipment is called a 3D Optical Coherence Tomography system.

What is OCT?

Ocular Coherence Tomography is an advanced eye scan for people of all ages. Similar to ultrasound, OCT uses light rather than sound waves to reveal the many layers that make up the back of the eye. This particular 3D OCT unit captures a digital photograph of the inner surface of the eye at the same time, so that areas of concern identified by the scan can be cross referenced with the classic view of the back of the eye that we see.

In other words, if you are looking at an iced cake before it has been sliced, you don’t know if it contains jam, cream or chocolate layers; equally if it’s lumpy or smooth. With this unique NON-INVASIVE technology we are able to see both the surface of the back of your eye (the top of the cake) and a three dimensional image of the layers that are beneath the surface.

Using this machine, we can more confidently diagnose, manage or refer you for further treatment, should this be required. For the majority of patients, OCT provides significant reassurance that the deeper layers of their eye are healthy.

There is an additional charge for the OCT scan, but the benefits are obvious; you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your eyes are in great condition.

MECS

We are a registered practice to provide the NHS funded service to examine Minor Eye Conditions (MECS). We are happy to receive referrals from local GP practices, the pharmacist or patients directly.

NHS

We conduct both private and NHS eye tests. You can find out if you’re eligible for an NHS funded eye examination or financial help with your spectacles at

What our patients say

Mrs P, Easingwold
Just had our annual family appointment at the newly launched The Opticians Easingwold. The whole experience from a friendly welcome at reception through to the expert consultation and quality range of glasses frames to choose from was fantastic. The waiting area and consultation rooms feel super fresh and modern and there is a great range of frames which means just choosing one pair is tricky! The dreaded pressure test which used to make me jump and scream has been updated with a new piece of kit which I barely blinked at! My reticence to commit to “lens one or two” during the test was kindly assuaged by Claire who is super patient and thorough. Once it was time to choose frames and lenses Danielle using her vast experience of matching the perfect frame to suit your face and personality had me sorted. I was then guided through a high tech measuring process which saw me twirl in front of a mirror! I was then shown the latest lens technology which Danielle tailored to my exact needs. My kids had the same great experience and less than a week later specs were ready, fitting was easy and seeing the world in 20/20 is great!
Mrs P, Husthwaite
I just wanted to say Thank you for the excellent service received during my sight test, contact lens check & glasses fitting. It's such a relief to find a welcoming & efficient local team to look after my eye health and vision.
Mrs W, Green Hammerton
Yesterday was my first time visiting The Opticians Easingwold, for a routine eye check. The team were so helpful and friendly! Everywhere was immaculate with noticeably beautiful decor. It was a great experience and I will definitely be back :) Thank you!
Mr T, York
I had a painful irritation in one of my eyes and I was able to book a last minute appointment with Claire late in the day. After looking at the offending eye she suggested I should go straight to York Hospital which she rang through and arranged for me. The specialist at the hospital said that if I'd left it another day my eye would have permanently damaged so as you can imagine I am eternally grateful to Claire! Very thorough and knowledgeable, excellent Optometrist.
