What Our Clients in Barnard Castle Say About Us
Your Bayfields Practice in Barnard Castle
Comprehensive Eye Tests in Barnard Castle
When you book an appointment for a Barnard Castle eye test, you can expect a comprehensive 45-minute exam that goes beyond just checking your prescription.
Our process includes retinal photography and OCT scanning as standard, giving us a detailed picture of your eye health and even indicators of your general well-being, such as signs of high blood pressure or diabetes. We offer our advanced Ultimate Eye Test (£64) alongside free NHS eye test options for children and qualifying adults.
We also offer the Minor Eye Conditions Service (MECS). If you suddenly experience a sore eye, flashing lights, or changes in your vision, we are here to assess and treat you under this free NHS service.
Minor Eye Conditions Service (MECS) in Barnard Castle
If you develop a sudden, minor, or irritating problem with your eyes, such as a sticky, sore, or red eye, or if you experience flashing lights or notice a veil over your vision, you don't always need to go to your GP or A&E. Our practice is certified to offer the Minor Eye Conditions Service (MECS), completely free of charge through the NHS.
Our experienced optometrists can assess, diagnose, and treat a range of minor eye conditions right here in Barnard Castle. If a referral to a specialist is needed, we will provide professional advice and manage the process for you.
