COVID-19 Safety Measures
Our Safety Measures at Niall O’Kane Optometrists
Safety Measurements in Practice
Your visit will look a little different. We have many safety measures in place to keep you and our staff as safe as possible, including :
- Enhanced cleaning procedures including all hard surfaces sterilised throughout the day
- Hand sanitising stations set up throughout the practice
- All staff continue to wear face masks
Who Can Visit?
Everyone - we have strict cleaning processes in place for everyone's safety. Feel free to pop in and browse at your leisure.
Patients needing new spectacles and sunglasses are welcome, with new and exciting ranges ready and waiting for you
Patients wanting a routine eye examination - especially patients who have a family history of eye conditions and all patients over 40
Patients needing emergency eye care will be given priority appointments and a specialist team are now providing a full, private eye casualty service, including prescriptions for eye medication
Patients who have purchased glasses or sunglasses from us and need repairs or fitting appointments can request an appointment with one of our dispensing team
A New Era of Eye Examinations
Routine tests will be replaced by appropriate and advanced examination techniques. The back-of-eye examination will be performed by 4D laser OCT scanning technology and digital retinal imaging (really fancy back-of-eye photographs and ultrasounds as used by NASA!). This will eliminate the need for your optometrist to get too close.
Technology Includes:
Heidelberg 4D Spectralis OCT
Goldmann Applanation Tonometry
Corneal Topography
Digital Video Slit Lamp Examination
Digital Phoropter Head
Taking Dispensing Digital
Digital dispensing allows us to take the most accurate and advanced measurements to create bespoke spectacle lenses - all whilst observing the 2m rule.
