At Black Forest Optical (BFO) we pride ourselves on delivering a very personalized and boutique service to suit the needs of our patients. Our amazing team goes above and beyond in order to ensure all your eye health and vision needs are met. We purposefully allow for longer eye appointments in order to ensure all our patients have ample time to discuss their eye health and have their vision needs met. Furthermore, our Optometrist is very experienced in providing a high standard of eye care, so you can be at ease knowing your eye health is in safe hands.
The BFO team understands how important your eyes and vision are in experiencing all of the joys life has to offer.
For this reason we feel regular eye health checkups (annually for those over 65) are vital for the early detection and monitoring of conditions including: Diabetic Retinopathy, Glaucoma, Cataracts, Uveitis, Dry Eyes, Macular Degeneration and Hypertensive Retinopathy.
Many of these conditions often go unnoticed in their initial stages, with prompt surveillance, detection and management we can help to reduce/prevent vision loss from occurring.
