The Eye Examination

At Crompton Opticians we place a high emphasis on clinical care and perform not only an "eye test" but a thorough examination of your eyes  both internally and externally.

We invest continually in the newest technology to provide the most up to date screening and investigative techniques including retinal photography, visual field assessment, binocular vision assessment and glaucoma and cataract screening.

Our practice is fully accredited in the Warrington PCT's diabetic screening programme.

We perform both NHS and Private Eye Examinations
