Advanced Eye Examinations in Doncaster & South Yorkshire
At Parkhurst and Co, our comprehensive eye examinations go beyond a standard sight test. Using advanced diagnostic technology alongside a personalised, styling-led approach, we assess your vision and eye health in detail — helping to detect early signs of conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease.
For patients who would benefit from clearer, lighter spectacle lenses, we may recommend premium Tokai lenses, individually tailored to your prescription, lifestyle and visual requirements.
We can also provide advice on eyewear suited to driving, workplace use and everyday lifestyle needs, including prescription sunglasses where appropriate.

Advanced Diagnostic Technology
At Parkhurst and Co, your eye examination includes access to advanced OCT scanning technology — allowing us to view the deeper layers of your retina in exceptional detail.This enables early detection of serious eye conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy — often before symptoms appear.
How Often Should You Have an Eye Test?
Even if your vision feels perfectly clear, regular eye examinations are essential to maintain long-term eye health.
At Parkhurst and Co, our comprehensive eye examinations do more than assess how well you see — they allow us to detect early signs of conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease before symptoms begin to affect your vision.
For most adults, we recommend an eye examination every two years.
However, you may benefit from more frequent assessments if you:
• Are over the age of 40
• Have a family history of eye conditions
• Wear glasses or contact lenses
• Have diabetes or high blood pressure
• Spend long periods using digital screens
Regular eye tests help protect not only your sight, but also your overall health — with many systemic conditions first detected during a routine examination.
