Are you concerned about your eye health? Do you have symptoms such as blurry vision, floaters or bright flashes of light that are affecting your daily life? A thorough check of the front, back and intraocular pressure of your eye can detect for eye diseases, such as glaucoma, cataract, age related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.
