Eye examinations in Ilkley
Your eyes deserve time, care and attention. At Verity Opticians in Ilkley, we provide thorough eye examinations designed to understand your vision, protect your eye health and give you clear advice you can trust.
A personal approach to eyecare
At Verity Opticians, every patient is treated as an individual. Your eyes are unique and the care you receive should reflect that.
Our optometrists carry out the entire examination themselves in one comfortable consultation room. There is no conveyor belt process and no rushing through tests. This allows us to focus fully on you, your eyes and your visual needs.
By taking the time to understand your lifestyle, your vision and any concerns you may have, we can provide advice and solutions that are tailored to you.
Our aim is always the same: to give you the best possible vision and long-term eye care.
Expert eye care, every day
Advanced eye scans with OCT and Optomap
To provide the highest level of care, we offer advanced imaging using the Optos Monaco OCT and Optomap wide-field scanner.
These scans allow us to look deeper into your eyes and see far more than a standard examination alone.
Optomap imaging captures a detailed wide-field photograph of the retina, giving us a clear view of the back of your eye.
OCT scanning looks at the delicate layers of the retina in cross-section, helping us identify very early signs of conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease.
By combining both technologies, we can monitor your eye health with exceptional detail and accuracy.
Minor eye conditions service
If you experience a sudden problem with your eyes, you may be able to access the Minor Eye Conditions Service (MECS) at our practice.
This service allows patients to be seen quickly for symptoms such as:
- Sudden changes in vision
- Flashes or floaters
- Irritated or watery eyes
- Red or painful eyes
In many cases, you can receive care and advice without needing to visit your GP or hospital eye department.
If you have any concerns about your eyes, please contact us and we will guide you.
Zocular eyelid system treatment - ZEST
ZEST is an in-practice deep cleansing treatment for dry eye, meibomian gland dysfunction, demodex and inflammation.
The Zocular Eyelid System Treatment (ZEST) uses patented Zokrex technology and activated natural Okra polysaccharide complexes for immediate improvements in eye comfort.
ZEST offers dry eye sufferers a convenient and cost-effective treatment, showing dramatic improvement with dry eye and ocular discomfort. It is simple to perform but yields unrivalled clinical results.
The ZEST procedure is a natural approach, using Okra plant complex to gently exfoliate and restore the natural state of the eyelids. The Okra-based gel has healing and anti-inflammatory properties, without the stinging sensation that other treatments have, instantly making your eyes feel more comfortable. The ZocuSwab foam applicators are used to gently lift debris from the eyelid margin to remove the biofilm that contributes to inflammation, redness, dry flaky skin and which may be blocking the meibomian glands, thus allowing the release of natural oils onto the eye.
Verity Opticians now offer ZEST. The procedure itself takes just minutes and is easily carried out by our trained Optometrist; treatments are every 3 months, and the results are instant.
Zest Treatment is from £150.00 per appointment.
