3D-OCT

Whitakers Opticians, have recently invested in a revolutionary piece of diagnostic equipment that can detect a number of common eye conditions, such as glaucoma, age related macular degeneration (AMD) and diabetic retinopathy, during a routine eye test.
This piece of equipment is called a 3D Optical Coherence Tomography system (3D OCT). Similar to the scans a radiologist takes in hospital, Optical Coherence Tomography is a harmless light scan of the most sophisticated layer in the human body, the retina. Using 3D imaging software your optometrist can take a detailed copy of your retina to compare against your next visit.
3D-OCT is available in both our Sowerby Bridge and Elland practices. Make sure that when booking your next eye test, you ask about an OCT scan.
Please watch this short video for further details........ ... See more

Good vision is vital for school and social development. More than one in 10 children, in every classroom, are estimated to have an undiagnosed vision problem that is impacting their learning and development. Optometrists recommend that children have regular sight tests from around the age of three, to make sure any conditions are picked up and treated early.
Book your child's eye examination now.

Ripponden Brownies look into Opticians

Girls from 1st Ripponden Brownies had a fun packed trip to Whitakers Opticians as part of the sight awareness section of their Disability Awareness badge. The girls, aged seven to ten years, enjoyed learning about eye examinations, including having the inside of their eyes photographed, working on the reception desk, dispensing frames and learning about how lenses are fitted to a pair of glasses in the onsite workshop.
