Eye examinations in Woodford Green
Our detailed and thorough eye examinations help you see the world clearly
At Scher & Lasky, we believe that caring for your eyes is about more than checking your prescription. Your sight is precious, and regular eye examinations help us look after not just your vision, but your wider health too. Many general health conditions can be detected during an eye examination, often before any other symptoms appear, which is why it’s so important to have your eyes checked regularly.
For over 35 years, we’ve been welcoming patients from Woodford, South Woodford, Buckhurst Hill and Chigwell. We’re proud that many of our patients have been with us for decades and we love meeting new faces too. Every appointment is tailored to the individual, with time to ask questions and understand your needs properly.
A personal and thorough approach to eye health
Our eye examinations are carried out by experienced and friendly professionals who take the time to get to know you. We don’t rush, and we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. We listen, we explain, and we offer advice that is honest and helpful.
We offer both NHS and private eye examinations, depending on your eligibility and preference. Whichever appointment you choose, you can expect a warm welcome, expert care, and a clear explanation of every step.
Enhanced eye care with OCT technology
For patients who would like a more detailed view of their eye health, we offer an enhanced sight test using OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography). This advanced scan allows us to look beneath the surface of the retina, helping us to detect early signs of conditions such as glaucoma and macular degeneration before they cause noticeable changes to your sight. It’s a simple, comfortable scan that only takes a few moments and gives peace of mind that your eye health is being looked after with the very best technology available.
We’re here for your health
If you have concerns about your eyesight or eye comfort, please get in touch. We’re here to reassure you, investigate any changes, and help you understand what’s going on. We are not here to simply sell glasses, although we do offer a beautiful range of frames and the latest lens options. Our focus is on helping you see clearly, comfortably and confidently.
Specialist eye care services
Alongside our routine eye examinations, we provide additional services to support our community:
Emergency eyecare
If you notice sudden changes to your vision, discomfort, redness, flashes, floaters or anything that worries you, please call us. We will always do our best to arrange to see you as soon as possible.
Domiciliary eye examinations
If you are unable to visit the practice, we can bring the eye examination to you. Our home visiting service allows you to receive the same care and attention, in the comfort of your own home.
Cataract monitoring
We work closely with local GPs and hospital services to monitor cataracts. We will guide you through every stage, offering reassurance and helping you make the right decisions about your care.
Eyewear at Scher & Lasky
If you do need a prescription, we’ll help you find eyewear that suits both your vision and your personal style. Our eyewear and contact lens pages will tell you more about the frames, lenses and solutions available.
