Eye Tests at NHK Opticians in and around Plymouth
Regular eye tests are an essential part of looking after your vision and eye health. At NHK Opticians, our eye examinations are carefully tailored to you - combining clinical expertise, modern technology and more time to listen.
Whether you’re attending for a routine check, have concerns about your vision, or simply want peace of mind, our optometrists are here to provide clear advice and high‑quality care.

What do our eye tests include?
An eye test is about much more than checking whether you need glasses. Your examination typically includes:
-
Assessment of your vision and visual comfort
-
Checks for changes since your last visit
-
Screening for common eye health conditions
-
Time to discuss any concerns or symptoms
Our optometrists explain findings clearly and will always discuss your options with you before making any recommendations.

How often should I have an eye test?
For most adults and children, we recommend an eye examination every two years. However, you may need more frequent examinations if you:
​
-
Have a strong or changing prescription
-
Have a family history of eye disease
-
Have diabetes or other health conditions affecting the eyes
-
Spend long hours on digital screens
-
Have been advised by your optometrist to attend more regularly
Our optometrists will always advise on the most appropriate recall interval for you.

Looking beyond routine eye tests . . .
Some patients need more than a standard eye examination. If your vision feels uncomfortable, complex, or doesn’t seem to improve with routine care, we also offer a wide range of specialist eyecare services, including assessments for specific visual needs. Our team will guide you to the most appropriate service.
