Our Services
Advanced Eye Examinations
As your local and independent opticians, we aim to bring you the best advanced eye care and examinations.
We allow a relaxed, longer appointment with the same optometrist each time. Beyond checking your prescription, we use the latest technology to inspect every part of the eye, and NHS‑funded eye tests are free for everyone in Scotland.
What to Expect
Your exam includes distance and near‑vision tests, an updated prescription if required, and a full ocular health check. We also discuss your medical history and medications so our advice is truly personal.
OCT Enhanced Eye Scans
At Purcell Opticians, our mission is to help our patients have healthy eyes so they can enjoy excellent vision. Our optional Ocular Coherence Tomography scan painlessly maps the layers inside your eye, allowing early detection of glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration. It’s especially valuable if you’re over 60 or have higher‑risk factors. If you'd like to find out more please get in touch.
