Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer NHS eye tests in Wednesfield?
Yes. Ashmore Park Opticians provides NHS-funded eye tests for eligible patients — including under-16s, under-19s in full-time education, over-60s, people with diabetes or a family history of glaucoma, and those on qualifying benefits — as well as private eye examinations. We serve Ashmore Park, Wednesfield and the wider Wolverhampton area.
What is an OCT scan, and can I have one at Ashmore Park Opticians?
Yes — we offer OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) at our practice. An OCT scan takes a detailed cross-section image of the back of your eye, which can help detect early signs of conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic eye changes, often before symptoms appear. Ask about adding an OCT scan when you book your eye test.
Do you see patients with diabetes?
Yes. We provide diabetic eye screening and welcome patients with diabetes for routine eye examinations, OCT scanning and advice at our Wednesfield practice.
Can I get an urgent or emergency eye appointment in Wolverhampton?
Yes. If you have a sudden eye problem — such as a painful red eye, flashes and floaters, or sudden changes in vision — contact us promptly on 01902 739777 and we will arrange an urgent appointment where clinically needed.
