The general rule is every 2 years for adults with no eye problems. But if you're over 40, you might want to go every 1-2 years. Kids under 16 should have annual checks, and those wearing contact lenses need checks every 6-12 months. If you have diabetes or glaucoma, follow your optician's advice, which is usually every 6–12 months. If you notice any sudden changes to your vision, schedule an appointment immediately. 

Standard eye tests range from £25–£40 in Sevenoaks. Enhanced tests with OCT scanning run from £35–£85. Many people qualify for free NHS tests, including those over 60, under 16, and those with diabetes or glaucoma.

Yes, all major Sevenoaks opticians do contact lens fittings. The cost of an appointment depends on how complex the work you need is, but many qualify for discounts. 

Yes, Eyelines accepts NHS vouchers for eligible patients. We offer an enhanced NHS examination for £55 that includes the same advanced OCT and OPTOS scanning as our comprehensive exam. This means NHS patients can access the most cutting-edge technology at an affordable price, something chain stores don't typically offer.

Every comprehensive examination includes both OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) and OPTOS Wide Field imaging. OCT provides detailed 3D scans of your retina, detecting conditions up to 4 years earlier than traditional methods. OPTOS captures 200-degree views of your retina compared to the 45-degree view of standard equipment. Most chains either don't offer these options or charge extra fees for them.

Yes! Eyelines offers Enhanced Vision Care plans starting from just £8.50 per month for individuals or £16 for couples. These plans cover all examination fees and provide 10% off spectacles and sunglasses. It's a smart way to budget for eye care while making sure you never skip important check-ups due to costs.
