Eye examinations at Globe Opticians
Eyecare for the whole family.
At Globe Opticians, we have been caring for patients and families across Golders Green and Old Street for over 20 years.
As a family-run practice, we believe that looking after your eyes should be straightforward, comfortable and personal. We welcome both NHS and private patients and take the time to understand your vision, answer your questions and provide advice you can trust.
What happens during an eye test?
Regular eye examinations are an important part of maintaining good eye health.
During your appointment, we will assess how well you can see, check whether your prescription has changed and examine the overall health of your eyes. Many eye conditions can develop gradually without obvious symptoms, which is why routine examinations are so important.
Our optometrists will explain everything clearly and in language that is easy to understand, helping you make informed decisions about your eye care.
We take pride in creating a friendly and welcoming environment where patients of all ages feel comfortable and supported.
Advanced technology for greater peace of mind
We have invested in technology that helps us provide thorough and accurate eye examinations.
OCT eye scans
We use Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) technology to capture detailed images of the back of your eye. This allows us to see beneath the surface of the retina and helps us detect signs of eye conditions at an earlier stage.
The scan is quick, comfortable and completely non-invasive, providing valuable information about your eye health.
Visual field testing with virtual reality technology
Our practice also uses innovative virtual reality technology for visual field testing.
Using a comfortable 3D headset, we can assess your peripheral vision in a modern and convenient way. This technology helps us monitor and detect conditions that may affect your field of vision while providing a more comfortable patient experience.
A family-friendly practice
We are proud to care for patients of all ages, from young children attending their first eye examination through to older adults requiring ongoing eye health support.
Many local families have trusted us with their eye care for generations. We understand the importance of creating a welcoming environment where children feel relaxed and parents feel confident in the care their family receives.
In recent years, myopia (short-sightedness) management has become an important part of our work. We offer specialist options, including spectacle lenses and MiSight® contact lenses, designed to help manage the progression of myopia in children.
