Your Eye Health for Northwood Residents
Northwood's residents tend to be proactive about their health and well-informed about screening technology. Our patients from the area frequently request OCT scans specifically, understanding the value of early detection for conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. The Metropolitan line makes the journey from both Northwood and Northwood Hills stations straightforward.
Northwood residents invest in their health. Private healthcare, regular screening, and proactive management are the norm in a community that understands prevention is better than cure. Eye health deserves the same standard of care.

OCT scanning is at the heart of our diagnostic capability. This technology images the retinal layers with extraordinary precision, detecting glaucoma and macular changes at their very earliest stages, often years before symptoms appear. For Northwood's health-conscious residents, knowing the detailed internal health of their eyes provides genuine peace of mind.
Optomap ultra-widefield imaging adds a panoramic perspective, capturing 200 degrees of the retina to identify abnormalities in areas that conventional examination doesn't reach. Together, OCT and Optomap create a comprehensive record that we monitor at each visit. If we identify anything that warrants specialist attention, our referral pathways ensure prompt access to top ophthalmologists, supported by our detailed imaging data.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an OCT scan and do I need one?
OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) is an advanced imaging technology that creates detailed cross-section images of your retina, similar to an MRI for your eyes. It can detect conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration years before symptoms appear. We recommend OCT scanning for all patients as part of a comprehensive eye health assessment.
How often should I have a private eye examination?
We generally recommend a comprehensive eye examination every two years for adults, or annually if you're over 60, have a family history of eye disease, are diabetic, or wear contact lenses. Children should be examined annually. Our optometrists will advise on the right frequency for your individual circumstances.
I have private health insurance, can I claim for eye examinations at Eyewise?
Some private health insurance policies cover eye examinations, particularly if there's a clinical indication. We can provide detailed receipts and clinical reports to support your claim. Please check with your insurer regarding your specific policy coverage.
