Westhill Eye Centre / Services
Care for your eyes, at every step
Start with an eye assessment. We can discuss the care suited to your symptoms and clinical findings.
Eye examination
An examination helps assess vision and eye health and guides advice on what to do next. Tell the team about symptoms, glasses or medicines you use, and any relevant history.
Eye condition assessment
Seek assessment if your sight changes, your eyes are uncomfortable, or you have another concern. Diagnosis and treatment depend on a clinician’s findings.
Specialised ophthalmic care
The official facility record includes specialised and integrated ophthalmic service categories. Contact the clinic to ask whether a particular consultation, treatment or procedure is offered on site.
Specific surgeries, tests, glasses, contact lenses and equipment have not been independently verified. Please call before visiting for a specific service.
Westhill Eye Centre / Eye conditions
When your eyes need attention
New or persistent eye symptoms deserve an individual assessment.
Changes in vision
Blurred, reduced or changing vision may have several causes. Arrange an assessment so a clinician can determine what is happening.
Eye discomfort
Redness, watering, irritation or pain can have different causes. Avoid guessing at a diagnosis or using medicines without suitable advice.
Ongoing eye concerns
If symptoms continue, or you have been advised to monitor an eye condition, ask about review and follow-up.
Urgent symptoms: Sudden loss of vision, severe eye pain, injury or a chemical splash needs urgent medical attention. Seek emergency care promptly; do not wait for a routine clinic visit.

A conversation about your eyes starts here
An eye consultation is an opportunity to explain what has changed and ask clear questions about your care.
What to expect from a consultation
Tell the care team when your symptoms began, whether they affect one or both eyes, and what makes them better or worse. Bring your current spectacles, medicines and any relevant records.
Your clinician can explain the findings, discuss options and advise on follow-up or referral when needed. Availability of a named specialist and appointment times should be confirmed directly with the centre.
Questions to bring

- Do I need further examination or testing?
- What are my options and when should I return?

Make time for an assessment
New blurred vision, recurring redness, persistent irritation or difficulty seeing for your usual activities are reasons to contact an eye care professional. The cause cannot be reliably identified from symptoms alone.
Seek urgent help for sudden or severe symptoms
Sudden loss of vision, a serious eye injury, a chemical splash or severe pain needs urgent medical attention. Do not wait for a routine appointment. If a chemical enters an eye, rinse with clean running water immediately while arranging emergency care.
Prepare for your visit
Note when symptoms started and whether one or both eyes are affected. Bring spectacles, medicines and previous eye records if you have them. Ask what was found and what follow-up is needed.
