Unhurried eye exams, medical vision care and frames fitted to your face — all under one roof at SWP Optometry. Most appointments run 45 minutes, and you leave knowing exactly what your eyes need.
Most people leave an eye exam with a prescription and very little else. We do it differently. Every scan we take goes up on the screen next to you, and your optometrist talks you through what healthy looks like, what has shifted since last year, and what deserves watching.
SWP Optometry is an independent practice, so nobody here is working to a frame quota or a fifteen-minute timer. We fit contact lenses, manage dry eye and glaucoma alongside your physician, track myopia in children, and build glasses that actually sit right.
No two prescriptions arrive for the same reason. A screen-heavy job, a family history of glaucoma, a child squinting at the whiteboard — each one changes what we look for and how we treat it.
If we find something that needs a specialist, we refer you directly and send the imaging ahead. You will not be starting from scratch in someone else's waiting room.
Wide-field retinal photography and OCT scans, shown on screen and explained in plain language before you leave.
You are booked with a named clinician who keeps your history, so year-on-year changes get noticed early.
Pupil height, frame tilt and lens centring measured in-store. Adjustments and repairs stay free for as long as you wear them.
If your current glasses are still right, we will tell you. Nobody here earns a bonus for selling you a second pair.
Six core services cover almost everything that walks through the door. Anything more specialised, we arrange and coordinate for you.
Refraction, eye pressure, binocular vision and a dilated retinal check. We test how your eyes work together, not just how far down the chart you can read.

Every two years for healthy adults under 40, and annually after that. If you wear contact lenses, have diabetes, are being monitored for glaucoma, or have a parent or sibling with an eye condition, we will usually recommend yearly. Children in myopia control are seen every six months.
Not always. Our wide-field retinal camera captures most of what we need without drops. If dilation is necessary, we will tell you when booking so you can arrange a lift or plan to wait about an hour before driving. Bring sunglasses either way.
We bill most major vision plans directly. Bring your card or policy number when you book and reception will verify your cover in advance, then tell you exactly what is left to pay. If your plan is not one we bill, we provide an itemised receipt you can claim against.
Yes. As long as it is under two years old and includes your pupillary distance, we will make up glasses from it. If the PD is missing we can measure it here in a couple of minutes at no charge.
Around three, or earlier if you notice an eye turning, persistent squinting, or a family history of lazy eye. Children do not need to read for us to test them — we use picture charts and objective measurements, and the appointment is built to be quick and unthreatening.
Single vision lenses in stock are usually ready within three working days from our own lab. Progressives, high prescriptions and specialist coatings take seven to ten days. We will call as soon as they arrive and fit them properly before you leave.
