Experience the Bayfields difference today.
Having regular eye tests, OCT scans, and optomap® imaging are ways to look after your vision and overall health. An eye test isn’t just about checking if you need glasses - it helps spot early signs of common eye conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy, often before you notice any symptoms. An eye test can also sometimes reveal wider health issues such as diabetes or high blood pressure, giving you even more reason to keep up with your check-ups.
We recommend having an eye test every two years, even if your vision seems fine. For people over 60, or those with certain health conditions, more frequent tests may be needed.
Book today and give your eyes the care they deserve.
If you’ve noticed any of these symptoms, it may be time to book an eye test:
Blurred or fuzzy vision
Difficulty reading or seeing fine details
Frequent headaches or eye strain
Squinting to see clearly
Trouble seeing at night
Double vision
Don't wait for symptoms to worsen. Our team is here to help you.
If you want an even deeper look into your eye health, at Bayfields, we offer the latest technology with scans as standard, like the OCT eye test and optomap® imaging.
The OCT eye test scan uses light waves to create detailed images of the back of your eye, helping us catch any changes early and monitor any existing conditions over time.
Meanwhile, the optomap® scan gives a much wider view of around 85% of your retina, making it easier to detect things like retinal tears, detachments, or signs of diseases like diabetes and heart problems. These advanced tools mean we can help keep your eyes healthy and your vision clear for years to come.
We know eye tests can feel unfamiliar, so we’ve made it as easy as possible to understand. Here’s what to expect during your visit:
Consultation: We’ll begin by asking about your lifestyle and any vision concerns you have.
Eye Health Assessment: Your optometrist will check for signs of eye conditions using advanced technology like the OCT scan or optomap® scan.
Vision Test: We’ll assess your vision clarity, checking for issues like nearsightedness or astigmatism.
Personalised Advice: After the exam, we’ll discuss your results and offer recommendations tailored to your eyes.
With our advanced technology and personalised service, you can trust that your eye health is in good hands.
Free Eye Test & Scan: Get a free, comprehensive eye analysis that includes an eye test with advanced scanning technology (either OCT or optomap® depending on your practice).

At Bayfields Opticians, we’re proud to support NHS-funded eye care services, offering eligible clients comprehensive eye exams with scans from £39.
An eye test is a comprehensive check of your vision and eye health carried out by a qualified optometrist. It assesses your ability to see clearly, checks for any changes in your prescription, and screens for early signs of eye conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. At Bayfields, our eye tests include advanced scans like the OCT eye test and optomap® scan for an even more detailed view of your eye health.
An eye test is important because it helps protect your vision and overall eye health. Many serious eye conditions develop slowly without obvious symptoms, so regular eye exams can catch problems early when they’re easier to treat. Eye tests can also detect signs of other health issues such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
Booking your eye test is easy. To find your nearest opticians, simply find your nearest Bayfields practice and book online, or call your local practice directly. We offer flexible appointment times to suit your schedule.
Once you have visited us, if you recommend a friend or family member to Bayfields, we will say thank you with a £50 Amazon voucher for you and a free eye exam for them.

Yes, at Bayfields we offer children's tests of all ages with an NHS eyesight test. It’s important to check your child’s vision regularly to support their learning and development. Ay Bayfields we offer free eye tests for children under the NHS, plus £19.50 for an OCT scan. We make the experience fun and stress-free for little ones.
Yes, a contact lens check-up is not a substitute for a full eye test. A contact lens check-up focuses on the health of your eyes in relation to your lenses, but it doesn’t include a full vision assessment or detailed scans like the OCT eye test or optomap® scan. We recommend having a comprehensive eye test alongside your regular contact lens appointments.
OCT stands for Optical Coherence Tomography. At Bayfields Opticians we offer OCT scans as standard at all our practices in the UK. It’s a key part of our commitment to provide the best technology in eyecare to all our clients. An OCT eye test allows us to take a 3D image of the back of your eye using retinal photography, which can help to spot serious eye conditions including glaucoma, detached retina, diabetes and age-related macular degeneration.
Our adult eye tests start from £64 for Our Advanced Eye Test, which includes a thorough eye test and an OCT scan. Available at selected practices. The OCT eye test for NHS clients is £39.
Selected practices have the optomap equipment® & can offer both scans with Our Ultimate Eye test; the most in-depth eye exam we offer. It includes a thorough eye test, OCT & optomap® scan. Adult Private eye test: £77. Adult NHS: £49.
