Professional Eyecare Services & Advice

Enhanced Eye Examinations

We strongly recommend regular eye tests for everyone, both adults and children, on an annual basis unless advised otherwise by your optometrist. These examinations are vital not only for monitoring eye health but also for detecting potential signs of other medical conditions, some of which may not present any symptoms. Our ASK Eye Examination, which includes an OCT scan for patients over 25 and an Optomap 200-degree retinal image for all, offers a more comprehensive assessment compared to standard exams typically conducted elsewhere.

As part of our commitment to exceptional care, ASK Opticians is now offering a complimentary Chauffeur Service for all ASK Circle members in the local areas of Aspley Guise, Woburn Sands, Wavendon, Woburn, Bow Brickhill, and beyond (other areas on request).

We’ll collect you from your home, bring you to your appointment, and drop you back—hassle-free!

Whether it’s for your eye exam, a frame styling consultation, or collecting your new glasses—we’ll get you here in comfort and style.

Cancellation Policy: Cancellations or missed appointments without at least 48 hours notice will be charged at the full eye examination fee of £100. 48 hours does not give us enough time to fill in that slot with another patient who could have benefited from our services. Failure to make payment 7 days post cancellation or a missed appointment will be passed on to debt collection agencies and any fees or interest applied will be added. 

OCT scans & Optomap

Utilising Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scanning enables us to delve deeper into the eye's health. This scan generates detailed images revealing various layers and structures within the eye that aren't visible with standard 'back-of-the-eye' photographs. With an OCT scan, we can detect certain eye conditions up to four years earlier. That's why our optometrists perform OCT scans on ALL patients over the age of 25. we believe our patients deserves this level of care.

The California Optomap provides us with a panoramic 200-degree image of the retina, allowing us to visualise over 91% of the fundus, compared to just 15% with standard retinal photography. This expanded view enables us to identify 42% more pathology. Remarkably, only around 100 opticians in the country have access to this particular piece of cutting-edge equipment!

Just as you wouldn't visit the dentist and have only your two front teeth checked, we believe in comprehensive eye care. Let's see more together!
 

Myopia Management

We offer various myopia control solutions for children. It's projected that by 2050, approximately five billion people, or half of the global population, could be impacted by myopia. A 1D increase in myopia raises the likelihood of future eye-related diseases by 58%.

As myopia control becomes a frequent topic among parents, we provide a range of options including myopia control spectacle lenses and contact lenses. Rest assured, all our Optometrists and Dispensing Opticians are trained in this treatment. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Contact Lenses

One of the primary advantages of wearing contact lenses is the freedom and comfort they offer. Opting for contact lenses presents a myriad of options, including for children. At ASK, we cater to everyone's needs with a wide range of contact lenses suitable for special events, daily wear, sports, or vacations.

Eyewear Styling Consultations

Walking into an Opticians can often feel overwhelming, with frames scattered on shelves. Selecting the right pair of glasses can be a daunting task, especially considering you'll be wearing them every day if needed! Here at ASK Opticians, we strive to make this process stress-free. We invite you to sit down, enjoy a hot or cold drink from our extensive ASK menu, and allow us to bring the glasses to you.

Your prescription, facial features, lifestyle, and personality are carefully considered before we make any recommendations. With hundreds of frames in stock, not just the few on display, you'll have plenty of options to choose from. Our collection includes a wide range of luxury independent eyewear starting from £200, complemented by bespoke lenses starting from £220.

Our professionally trained staff will guide you through the dispensing process like never before, ensuring you have an exceptional experience. You can schedule appointments with our dispensing opticians and in-house frame stylists to receive personalised attention and advice.
