Comprehensive Eye Examinations in Stourbridge
At PW Optics, we provide comprehensive eye tests for adults and children, helping you protect your eyesight and overall health. Regular eye examinations are essential — not just for updating your glasses prescription, but also for detecting early signs of serious eye conditions.
Why Are Eye Tests Important?
An eye test is more than just a vision check. It’s a full assessment of your eye health, often detecting early signs of:
High blood pressure and other systemic conditions
Even if you haven’t noticed any changes to your vision, some eye conditions develop gradually and can be treated more effectively when caught early.

How Often Should You Have an Eye Test?
Included: Digital Retinal Photography
We use a Fundus camera to take high-resolution images of your retina. These images are stored in your record, allowing us to track changes over time — especially useful if you are being monitored for progressive eye conditions.
After Your Test
Once the examination is complete, your optometrist will explain your results, including any prescription changes or health findings. You’ll then meet with one of our qualified dispensing opticians to discuss lens types, coatings, and frame options tailored to your vision profile.

Frequently Asked Questions About Eye Tests
How long does an eye test take?
A typical eye test at PW Optics takes 30 to 40 minutes. This allows plenty of time for a thorough eye health check, prescription update, and digital retinal photography.
Do I need an eye test if my vision hasn’t changed?
Yes. Even if your vision feels fine, eye tests can detect early signs of eye conditions that don’t yet cause symptoms. We recommend having your eyes tested every two years, or more often if advised.
Can I get an NHS eye test?
Yes — NHS-funded eye tests are available if you meet certain criteria, including:
Under 16 (or under 19 in full-time education)
Over 60
Diagnosed with diabetes or glaucoma
On certain benefits
What happens if I need glasses after the test?
If your prescription has changed, our qualified dispensing opticians will help you choose the right lenses and frames based on your vision needs, lifestyle, and preferences.
Are children’s eye tests available?
Yes. We offer NHS children’s eye tests in a relaxed, friendly environment. Early detection of vision problems is key to supporting learning and development.
