Specialist Support
At Simon Berry Optometrists we pride ourselves in providing the best service to all people. One way of doing this is by making reasonable adjustments to the way we work and tailoring what we do and how we work to meet the needs of all our patients.
Our premises are wheelchair-friendly, with nearby street parking and easy access to our testing rooms.
Having an eyetest
This fact sheet tells you what will happen at an eye examination, giving you advice about how to get ready for an eye examination, and why eye examinations are so important.
What my optometrist should know about me
We provide a more bespoke service to those with disabilities or who may require additional assistance with their eye examintion. If you are a person with a disability or would like to book an eye examination for a friend or family member, you may find it helpful to download our ‘Telling the optometrist’ form, by following the link below. This document has been designed by the charity SeeAbility.
Before attending your eye examination please send us the completed form and this will help us to understand your needs, and provide you with the best possible service we can.
This is the form for you and your supporters to download and fill in before your eye examination. Simply fill in the form and send it back to us, either by post or email. Your answers will help the optician understand your needs, so using this form will help you get the most from your eye examination.
Remember
Why do we need this?
It is likely that some of these patients will be missed if they do not have proper access to eye care services. A standard eye examination is not really tailored for the needs of someone with a learning disability and there may be better way of doing things.
This is why all of our staff, including reception staff, are trained in-house to work positively with patients who have learning disabilities. If you would like to find out more about this service, please contact us at your earliest convenience.
