Because Optical Solutions is under medical direction all patients receive a thorough medical eye examination rather than a routine sight test. Instead of just performing screening for eye conditions and then referring onto the Hospital Eye Service via the patient's General Practitioner like the competition, we can advise, investigate and offer treatment in-house.

Medical eye examination does not imply high cost because the NHS in Scotland funds free NHS eye examinations specifically for eye and general health assessment in addition to optometry (measurement for glasses).

Dr Whittle personally conducts the eye examinations in all patients attending Optical Solutions at every visit.

The result is a personalised, high quality medical ophthalmological service with a level of continuity unmatched by any other optical retailer.
