Advanced Optometry in Meltham: Why Regular Eye Exams Matter
Are you searching for advanced optometry services or a comprehensive eye test in Meltham or Huddersfield? At SEE HEAR Health, we combine hospital-grade technology with personalised care to protect your vision and overall wellbeing.
What Is Advanced Optometry?
Advanced optometry refers to the use of state-of-the-art diagnostic
equipment and clinical expertise to assess your eye health in detail.
At SEE HEAR Health, our Meltham clinic offers:
- Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) Scans: Early detection of
glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal
disease.
- VR Visual Gaze Analysis: Innovative technology to assess eye
movement and focus, ideal for digital lifestyles.
- Comprehensive Eye Exams: Tailored to your age, lifestyle, screen
time, and family history.
Our optometrists are highly trained and use advanced tools to identify
issues early, often before you notice symptoms.
Why Are Regular Eye Exams Important?
Regular eye tests are essential for everyone, especially adults over
40 and those with a family history of eye disease. Here’s why:
- Early Detection of Eye Conditions: Many sight-threatening diseases (glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy) develop without pain or obvious symptoms. Advanced testing helps spot problems early.
- Monitor Changing Vision: Prescriptions can change with age, health, or increased screen use. Routine exams ensure your vision is at its best.
- Spot General Health Issues: Eye exams can reveal signs of diabetes, high blood pressure, and hereditary disorders—sometimes before other symptoms appear.
- Protect Your Lifestyle: From driving safety to reading, eye health
impacts your daily life. Early intervention keeps you independent and active.
Who Should Book an Eye Exam?
- Adults aged 40+
- Anyone with a family history of eye disease
- People with diabetes or other health risks
- Children or adults noticing changes in vision
- Frequent screen users or those experiencing eye strain
We recommend a full eye health check every two years, or more often if you’re at higher risk.

Sight and sound
Our vision and hearing are arguably our two most important senses.
Our vision and hearing are maybe our most crucial senses. Our brain receives around 90% of its information from only two senses: sight (approximate 80%) and hearing (around 10%). The remaining 10% of information is split across the smell, touch, and taste senses. Isn't it time we looked after both.
The link between hearing loss and dementia
Almost twice as many people with mild hearing loss (at the World Health Organization's criteria for diagnosing hearing loss) will acquire dementia as those without hearing loss. The risk increased threefold with moderate hearing loss and nearly fivefold with severe hearing loss. Read More

Skin Tag, Wart and Verucca Removal
Skin tags, warts, and verrucas can make you feel self-conscious. Remember that many people have benign skin growths. Gentle and effective cryosurgery is a blessing.
Freezing superficial skin lesions is minimally-invasive cryosurgery. The SEE HEAR health CryoPen removes these lesions. Without touching your skin, the advanced CryoPen delivers high-pressure Nitrous Oxide gas at -89°C to the lesion. This precise application kills abnormal cells without damaging healthy tissue.
CryoPen safely treats skin tags, cysts, cutaneous warts, verruca vulgaris, and cherry angiomas. Removing lesions is simple and painless, but some may require several sessions depending on size and depth.
Remember that GPs and NHS rarely treat benign conditions. Customised care can help you achieve smooth, clear skin.
For peace of mind, consult your GP before cryotherapy if you're worried a lesion is cancerous.
Clearer skin means regaining body confidence, not just aesthetics. We'll support your confidence and well-being throughout. Read More
Poor eye sight and bad posture

Why visit the opticians to remove ear wax?
No more syringing
Unfortunately, GPs no longer remove wax-filled ears for free. Private GP practises only receive payment for Local Clinical Commissioning Group-approved services. GPs no longer remove ear wax because CCGs no longer finance it.
This prevented many people from getting their ears cleaned. It's hard to imagine how horrible excessive ear wax is without it. Many have more than hearing loss. It can create infections and problems. Many ear wax removal patients felt unsafe driving or working until the wax was removed.
See Hear Health removes ear wax safely, compassionately, and efficiently. Ear wax is removed by micro-suction and irrigation.
Is irrigation like syringing?
Irrigation replaced ear syringing. Ear syringing is mainly outdated. It occasionally caused more problems than it helped and failed to remove ear wax. Controlling irrigation water improves safety and efficiency.
A micro-suction
One of the driest ear cleaning methods is microsuction. Hearing-care professionals check ears with microscopes. Magnifying the ear helps the hearing care specialist diagnose and treat it. Waterless suction cleaners clean ears.
Seniors with thick ear wax who cannot travel to the clinic receive home visits. Additionally, we visit nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
The BBC explains why ear wax removal is no longer free in another article: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-54296737
