At Niall O'Kane
Optometrists the care of your eyes is our primary objective.
Why have your eyes
examined?
You may think that all we do is provide you with glasses to improve your
sight, this is not the case. An eye examination can also check for diseases
of the eye as well as conditions affecting the body such as high blood
pressure and diabetes.
it is important to bear in mind that just
because
you have an eye examination you are not
necessarily going to need glasses, at
Niall O'Kane Optometrists we only
recommend
you have glasses should you need them
I
don't like going to the dentist, why should I go to see an optometrist?
Coming to see your personal Optometrist is a pleasant experience. Our
practice is warm and inviting and no one here wears a white coat! All our
staff are friendly and highly trained. We will look after you from the moment
you come through the door to the moment you leave.
Can
children have their eyes examined?
It is never too early to have your child's eyes examined. They don't have to
be able to read letters, we can examine your child's eyes accurately just by
using a light! So don't be put off, your child should not be disadvantaged at
school simply because a correctable eye condition has gone undetected.
Isn't
it expensive going to an opticians?
At Niall O'Kane Optometrists we believe in high quality and exceptional
service. All our products are competitively priced. We do not believe in poor
quality glasses which at the end of the day are only going to provide you
with discomfort and irritation. Come in to see us and experience the Niall
