Why have an eye test or eye examination?
It’s important to maintain the health of our vision, just like we do with our bodies and minds. Your vision helps you see better and focus on objects clearer. We recommend that you have an eye examination at least every two years, or every year for children and people aged over 70.
An eye test is a test of how well, or not well, a person can see. When you have an eye test with us, it will involve tests such as visual fields and eye pressures. An eye test is usually the first part of a more comprehensive eye examination.
An eye examination involves a series of tests performed by an ophthalmologist or an optometrist, assessing vision and the ability to focus and discern objects.
Contact Lenses Raynes Park
All of our optometrists are fully trained and competent to fit contact lenses. We are committed to providing professional eye care and customer service.
All patients are given clear instructions on how to manage their contact lenses by our clinical staff. They will teach you how to wear and take off your contact lenses successfully. If a patient is struggling, then they can arrange to have further instructions.
Why try contact lenses?
Contact lenses offer optical correction without the need to wear spectacles for long hours. They are easy to get used too and comfortable to wear. They are more cost-effective on a full-time wear basis in comparison to daily disposables. They have other benefactors such as increased oxygen provision and astigmatic correction. We also offer many cosmetic coloured lenses.

Journey To A Clearer Future
Sunglasses Raynes Park
It is crucial to have eye protection during the summer and even on bright winter days. Exposure to UV rays can lead to several different eye problems such as cataracts, corneal sunburn and skin cancer of the eyelids amongst many others.
At Fiona Watt Optometrists in Raynes Park, we offer Sunglasses that provide excellent visions in all types of sun with anti-reflective and scratch resistant coatings.
We have an extensive selection of modern sunglasses including designer names. We are able to provide prescription sunglasses for both curved and wrap-around frames.
Diabetic Eyecare Raynes Park
Regular eye tests can help protect your vision and can also determine the health of your eyes. Eye tests can also help to identify any health conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure.
Diabetic eye screening is a test to check for any eye problems caused by diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes caused by high blood sugar levels damaging the back of the eye (retina). It can cause blindness, if left undiagnosed and untreated.
Here at Fiona Watt Optometrists in Raynes Park, we offer annual diabetic eye screening to all people with diabetes aged 12 and over to pick up and treat any problems early on. However, in order to reduce the risk of this happening, people with diabetes should ensure they control their blood sugar levels so you can slow any damage to the blood vessels in your eyes.
You should keep high blood pressure in check as this can lead to eye diseases. If you have a combination of high blood pressure and diabetes, we advise you to also check your cholesterol levels to find out how much bad LDL and good HDL cholesterol you have. You should attempt to eat well and include fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins in your diet. Exercise is also imperative and has a significant impact on blood sugar levels. You should also quit smoking as this can cause issues with your blood vessels, meaning you are more likely to end up with eye problems.
You should contact Fiona Watt Optometrists immediately if you have any of the following symptoms:
- Black spots.
- Blurry vision.
- Any loss of sight in one or both eye.
