CATS Optometrist, based on Wheelock Street in Middlewich, introduced the PeriVision VR visual field headset following a recent refurbishment of its practice.
The device uses artificial intelligence and virtual reality to test peripheral vision and help detect complex eye conditions such as glaucoma.
Cathryn Tripp, director at CATS Optometrist, said: “Accessibility to high quality eye care is something that we’re really passionate about.
“By embracing AI and new technology, we hope to elevate the standards that have previously been accepted as the norm.
“For many of our patients, this technology will be a game-changer in preserving vision and managing eye health effectively and will hopefully help even more people within Middlewich and beyond to reclaim their quality of life.”
The headset streamlines the testing process, reducing the time needed for assessments while maintaining clinical accuracy.
CATS Optometrist, a family-run independent practice, has served the Middlewich community for more than 38 years.
The recent refurbishment aimed to modernise the practice and introduce new services to support long-term patient care.
The practice is known for offering more than just standard eye tests.
It provides a range of advanced diagnostic, dispensing, and testing technologies, supported by a highly experienced team.
Additional services include diabetic retinopathy screening, glaucoma monitoring, community urgent eye care, children’s eye care, and hearing care.
Ms Tripp said: “It’s so important that, as healthcare providers, we’re consistently pushing the boundaries of what we can provide.
“The optical industry is constantly changing and improving so it’s key that we’re keeping up the pace with that.
“We’re really looking forward to seeing our patients benefit from these improvements and expect this new technology to have a lasting impact on the standards of eyecare within our community.”
The PeriVision headset forms part of the practice’s ongoing commitment to improving patient outcomes through investment in the latest technology.
