At Barnham Opticians your comfort and eye health is our number one priority. We understand that you may have a busy schedule, or may have concerns about possible discomfort during an OCT screening. An OCT scan is non-invasive, painless, simple and quick – normally taking only a few minutes, so you can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your eyes are in good condition without having to worry about barriers that may deter or prevent you from having a screening.
