Choose The Right Eye Test For You
What Is A Biometric Eye Exam?
In order to maximise the accuracy of a lens prescription, manufacturers generally use four standard values from an individual’s reduced eye model. However, these same distances and prescriptions may not apply to every person because of their unique features that influence their biometrics during the measurement process.
Our revolutionary technology allows us to measure each eye in great depth, ensuring every eye gets the correct treatment.


A Personalised And Bespoke Service
Patients need different amounts of time depending on their condition.
Therefore, we always ensure plenty of time is allocated to each eye test to address your needs.
The revolutionary technology we use at Dolphins Optometrists allows us to measure vision up until 0.01 DPO which reflects the true condition in over 95% population instead of using traditional quarter diopter (“QDI”) numbers ending with .00%.
A Service As Unique As You
Rodenstock has introduced new AI technology to ensure precision in lens calculations. Therefore, this enables us to scan your retinas in unprecedented detail to ensure we prescribe the best lenses to give you the best vision possible.

P. C.2024-10-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went in for an eye test and to have new lenses put into my current frames. The services was second to none, the eye exam lasted almost 2 hours and had tests that I had never seen or heard of before. Yes it does cost more than a high street exam but having tried all the high street providers it is way beyond what they offer. Lenses wise I went for Rodenstock biometric lenses, again so beyond what i have ever gotten from a high street chain and won't look back. Not cheap but the service and the quality you recieve makes it incredibly good value and I will be returning as to my wife. Jane Green2023-04-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I lost my driving glasses, and using my existing prescription, Dolphins had an emergency replacement pair ready the following afternoon! Amazing service. Sara Hopkins2023-03-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I see so many people with unflattering, badly fitting frames and wibbly wobbly lenses that I need a pack of Dolphin stickers please. I could then slap them on unsuspecting passersby and fellow queue-ers and send them to Umesh, Julian, Mandy and the team for some genuine care and attention to detail. Dolphin Optometrists are not tied to any one supplier and can recommend what is tailored to your requirements, however severe or complex your prescription might be. They have all the latest kit and expertise - and plenty of parking! Steve Barnes2023-02-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They have the most up-to-date equipment and you receive a fabulously thorough check and test from Umesh. Then Julian sorts your glasses order out with humour and professionalism. The ‘girls’ on reception are very friendly and welcoming and nothing seems too much trouble for them Lisa Arthur-Bridge-Butler2022-06-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If I could have given more stars - I would have. This is why we must support independent businesses - their level of knowledge and care is exceptional. I just experienced the most thorough and detailed examination in my 40 years of visiting opticians. Plus, I learned so much - for example one test showed that my eyes were on the dry side, and eye drops would be useful even if I don't have symptoms. I saw the surface of my cornea after laser surgery 25 years ago which explained how new contact lenses would fit and was advised to get a health test after a detailed image of the back of my eye (which was also shown to me) indicated a possible early issue. Outstanding customer service. Utterly blown away. Oh and they have a car park right outside too. Exceptional Jo Main2021-03-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Umesh and all his team are so helpful and professional. Nothing is too much trouble for them, and the level of service they give is absolutely second to none. Umesh has a great range of specialised instruments available for diagnostic purposes. Their covid19 precautions are well thought through, making visiting a safe and pleasant experience. Highly recommend! Ian Scott2020-09-01Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very helpful, fixed a slightly bent glasses.
