At Nicholson Eyecare we offer the best clinical service through our Enhanced Eye Examinations. We encourage everyone to have an Enhanced Eye Examination when they book with us. The Enhanced Examination gives us more information about the health of your eye, and can make it possible to detect eye conditions such as glaucoma and macular degeneration at an early stage. It is particularly valuable if you have a family history of eye disease or general health conditions like diabetes.
