Eye examinations the Trew Eyecare way
At Trew Eyecare in Westbourne, we believe great eyecare starts with genuine care. Every appointment is an opportunity to get to know you, your lifestyle and your vision — not just your prescription.
Our private and NHS eye examinations typically last around 40 minutes, giving us plenty of time to carry out a thorough assessment, answer your questions, and ensure you feel completely looked after.
More than a sight test
An eye examination is about much more than whether you need new glasses. It’s a full health check for your eyes. During your appointment, we’ll look at how well you see, but also at the overall health of your eyes — inside and out.
You’ll always see an experienced optometrist who takes the time to explain everything clearly, without jargon. We want you to feel comfortable and confident in understanding your results and what they mean for you.
If you need a new prescription, we’ll guide you through our carefully chosen range of frames and lenses to find what truly suits you — your eyes, your face and your lifestyle.
A clearer view with enhanced eye examinations
For those who want the most complete picture of their eye health, we offer Enhanced Eye Examinations. Using the latest Optomap and OCT technology, we can take detailed images that reveal layers of the retina we can’t see through standard testing.
This advanced imaging helps us spot early signs of conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease — often before you notice any symptoms. It’s a powerful way to protect your sight for the future.
When you need us most
If you’re worried about a change in your vision, discomfort, or anything unusual with your eyes, please don’t wait.
We provide emergency eyecare appointments so you can be seen quickly by an experienced optometrist. We also offer a range of specialist services, from ongoing management of eye conditions to more in-depth assessments — always with the same patient-first approach.
