The Eye Clinic

We offer a complete primary eye care service to the general public as well as to students and staff of the University and their families.

We work closely with other healthcare professionals in the region, and welcome the referral of patients into any of our clinics for further diagnostic tests. A referral form is available for this purpose.

The Eye Clinic - benefits of children's vision and reading.

The Clinic was opened in 1997 with the primary purpose of providing a high quality learning environment for final year Optometry students.

The clinic is an easily accessible, single storey building and benefits from comfortable, spacious testing areas, high quality instrumentation, and friendly and helpful staff. Our experienced clinical staff include Optometrists, Dispensing Opticians and Orthoptists.

We operate a broad range of optometric clinics along with a number of specialist clinics:

Primary Care Clinic

Comprehensive eye examinations are undertaken in this clinic. We also provide screening for those working on computers.

Advanced Clinical Assessment Clinic

Specialist equipment is used to undertake a more detailed investigation of the eyes.
