Why book the Ultimate Eye Test?

The Leightons Ultimate Eye Test gives you the most comprehensive view of your eye health, using pioneering technology to see 65% more of your eyes above what is available in a standard sight test.

It captures 2D and 3D pictures of your eyes using Optomap and OCT. This enhanced imaging package is highly recommended to our patients of all ages.

  • Optomap allows us to take an incredibly detailed image of your retina (the back of the eye) and shows up to 80% of the surface in one ultra-wide panoramic view.
  • OCT is a bit like an ultrasound using light and takes a scan of the layers beneath the central retina, giving a cross-section image that helps the optometrist build a complete picture of your eye health.

You'll have peace of mind knowing your sight is protected - and you're taking the very best care of your eyes.

Frequently asked questions

Oliver Tanna-White, Clinical Performance Lead at Leightons, explains: “The Ultimate Eye Test offers exceptional value for money by combining cutting-edge imaging with the expertise of our highly qualified Optometrists. These advanced tools allow us to see far beyond a standard eye test, detecting even the smallest changes in your eye health early on. Paired with the knowledge and care of our experienced team, you are guaranteed to receive a truly comprehensive assessment that puts your wellbeing first.”

The Ultimate Eye Test usually lasts around 45 minutes in total. In the first 15 minutes, you will have your OCT and Optomap scans taken. The remaining 30 minutes is your appointment with the optometrist, who will check your prescription and discuss your scan images with you.

All aspects of the Ultimate Eye Test are completely safe for children of all ages and can be provided on request. The NHS recommends children begin having regular eye tests from the age of three, unless parents notice frequent eye rubbing, squints, lack of eye coordination, asymmetric appearance of the eyes, or if the child has any other problems identified earlier. 

Our Ultimate Eye Test is the most comfortable test for little ones. With less time spent in close proximity with the optometrist, it’s an easier option that still delivers high quality care, perfect for those with short attention spans!
