At Richard Fantom Eyecare, our eye examinations are thorough, unhurried and tailored to you, whether you're visiting us from Warwickshire, Worcestershire, or anywhere in between.
Whether you need a routine check of your eyesight, have noticed changes in your vision, or want reassurance about your eye health, our experienced optometrists provide professional care using modern clinical equipment
At Richard Fantom Eyecare, we offer Comprehensive Eye Examinations tailored to meet your unique needs, whether you are an NHS or private patient. Our goal is to provide thorough, personalised care and resolve any concerns you may have about your eye health.
We take the time to carefully explain each part of the examination, ensuring you fully understand the process. Using the latest technology, such as OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography), Optomap imaging, and DNEye Wavefront Analysis, we conduct detailed tests that give us a complete picture of your eye health.
At the end of your eye examination, you will receive a personalised report, including your spectacle prescription (if needed), and clear recommendations to help maintain or improve your vision.

At Richard Fantom Eyecare, we offer both NHS eye tests and private eye tests. If you are eligible for an NHS eye test, you may be entitled to a discounted sight test and help towards the cost of your eye care. Our team is always happy to explain NHS eye test eligibility and guide you through the process.
We also provide eye tests for children, as it is especially important to monitor their vision as they grow. Regular eye tests can pick up any changes early and ensure their eyesight is not affecting school or everyday activities.


Regular eye tests are important for protecting both your vision and your eye health. Many eye conditions develop gradually and without obvious symptoms, meaning you may not notice a problem until it has progressed.
An eye test allows our local opticians to spot early signs of issues and provide advice or treatment at the right time.
You should book an eye test if you notice changes in your vision, experience eye strain or headaches, or simply as part of your regular eye care routine. For most people, an eye test is recommended every two years, although children, older adults and those with existing eye conditions may need to be seen more regularly.
After your eye test appointment in Warwickshire, our expert opticians will advise you on how long it should be before your next eye test, based on your individual eyesight and eye health results.
