'Advanced Eye Examinations in Keighley and Cross Hills
Why choose Airedale Opticians for your eyecare?
Choosing where to entrust your eyesight is an important decision. At Airedale Opticians, we have invested in advanced diagnostic technology, extended clinical services and ongoing professional training to provide a high standard of independent eyecare.
Our practices have access to technology including OCT, Optomap ultra-widefield retinal imaging, Humphrey visual field analysis, axial-length biometry, corneal topography and specialist dry-eye diagnostics. These technologies allow us to examine, document and monitor different aspects of your eye health in considerably greater detail.
Just as importantly, technology is only part of the examination. Our optometrists undertake additional postgraduate qualifications and clinical training, allowing us to offer enhanced services including glaucoma assessment, medical retina, Independent Prescribing, myopia management and specialist dry-eye care.
By combining experienced clinicians with advanced diagnostic technology, we can tailor your examination to your individual needs and provide you with clear advice about your vision and eye health.
Your eyesight deserves more than a one-size-fits-all approach.
- We allow much longer Eye Examination times – Please allow up to an hour for your Eye Examination appointment.
- Our Optometrist (Mo Hafejee) is an Independent Prescribing Optometrist and often able to prescribe your medication instead of having to be referred to your GP, Hospital or other specialist.
- Extra time means an unrushed consultation, giving us time to focus on your eyecare, providing eye health advice and discussing the results.
- The practice is owned and run by our experienced Optometrists, Mohammed and Sarah, with over 25 years experience each. Each of our Optometrisits have continued their learning with numerous extra qualifications and accreditations.
- Highly experienced and well trained practice team – on hand to assist with any queries about your eyes, glasses, contact lenses or any eye concern.
We have highlighted below some of the World Leading Equipment and Scanners Available at our Practice in Keighley
Comprehensive Eye Examination — £119
A thorough eye examination with additional imaging of your eyes.
Our Comprehensive Eye Examination includes an extended assessment of your vision and eye health, together with either an OCT scan or Optomap ultra-widefield retinal imaging, selected according to your individual needs.
Ideal if you want:
• A thorough assessment of your vision and eye health
• More information than examination alone can provide
• OCT or Optomap imaging where appropriate
• A baseline record that can help us monitor your eyes over time
A great choice for comprehensive routine eyecare.
Advanced Eye Examination — £168
Our more detailed eye-health assessment, combining advanced imaging technologies.
The Advanced Eye Examination combines your comprehensive clinical examination with both OCT and Optomap imaging.
OCT provides highly detailed cross-sectional images of structures including the retina, macula and optic nerve, while Optomap provides an ultra-widefield image covering a much larger area of the retina, including the peripheral retina.
Because the two technologies provide different information, using them together gives your optometrist a more comprehensive picture of your eye health.
Ideal if you want:
• Our Comprehensive Eye Examination
• OCT imaging of important retinal and optic-nerve structures
• Optomap ultra-widefield retinal imaging
• A detailed digital record for future comparison
• More comprehensive monitoring of your eye health
Our choice for patients who want a more detailed assessment of their eye health.
HeartEye Advanced Examination — £218
Our most comprehensive eye examination, combining advanced eye imaging with additional cardiovascular risk assessment.
This examination includes everything within our Advanced Eye Examination — including OCT and Optomap imaging— together with our HeartEye assessment.
Specialist analysis of information obtained from retinal imaging can provide additional information relating to cardiovascular risk.
The assessment is designed to complement your normal healthcare and does not replace assessment, diagnosis or treatment by your GP or other medical professional.
Ideal if you want:
• Our most comprehensive eye-health assessment
• OCT + Optomap retinal imaging
• Detailed documentation for future monitoring
• Additional cardiovascular risk information from retinal analysis
• A broader view of your eye health and general health
Our most comprehensive examination for patients who want the greatest level of information available from our eye-health technology.
Specialist Dry Eye Assessment
A detailed assessment designed to investigate the cause of persistent dry, sore, gritty, burning or watery eyes.
Dry eye can have several different causes, and treatment that works for one person may not be appropriate for another. Our Specialist Dry Eye Assessment goes beyond a routine eye examination to assess your tear film, eyelids, ocular surface and meibomian glands, helping us identify the factors contributing to your symptoms.
Your assessment may include:
• Detailed review of your symptoms, previous treatments, medications and lifestyle factors
• Examination of the eyelids and ocular surface
• Assessment of tear-film quality and stability
• Assessment of the meibomian glands and Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD)
• Meibography – specialist imaging of the meibomian glands
• Tear osmolarity measurement where appropriate
• Assessment for inflammation and other contributing factors
• Discussion of your results and likely causes of your symptoms
• A personalised treatment and management plan
Where appropriate, we can then discuss treatments available within our specialist Dry Eye Clinic, including eyelid treatments, IPL/LLLT, Blephex, punctal plugs and other management options.
Ideal if you have: persistent dry, gritty, burning or uncomfortable eyes; excessive watering; fluctuating vision; contact-lens discomfort; or symptoms that haven't improved sufficiently with standard eye drops.
The aim isn't simply to recommend another eye drop — it's to understand what is contributing to your symptoms and determine the most appropriate way to manage them.
