Terence Mendoza Optometrists is a private independent and professional
practice with specialisation in Contact Lenses and Diabetic Screening.
We have been offering a personal service in Rochford, Essex for over
thirty years. We aim to provide a first class eye examination using
state of the art consulting room equipment, combined with top quality
products in a friendly, relaxed environment.
Our air-conditioned North Street premises (beside Rochford Post Office)
is modern and comfortable with an extensive selection of designer
and non-designer frames and sunglasses.
Our independence allows us to supply contact lenses, spectacle frames
and lenses from the most appropriate source to fulfil individual needs
- we are not dictated by 'head office' as to which products and suppliers
we can use!
Experience & Knowledge
We take pride in being a comprehensive source for all your up to date
visual requirements.
Our knowledge and skills are being updated regularly from all over
the world. Continous Education and Training is a way of life for our
professional staff.
Glaucoma refinement procedure
National Institute for Clinical Excellence issued guidelines that optometrists must refer any patient found to have ocular pressures above 21mm. Nationwide this resulted in a large number of referrals of patients who do not have glaucoma but have slightly raised ocular pressure. In the light of this South Essex PCT have now introduced a scheme to enable qualifying practitioners to carry out further tests under the NHS to reduce the number of patients needing to be referred to hospital.
Terence Mendoza has a contract with South East Essex Primary Care Trust
to provide the additional specialised tests required for the Glaucoma Refinement Scheme. Should such refinement be required you will be booked for a further consultation. At this further visit the thickness of your cornea will be measured using a pachymeter, using ultrasound, the pressure will be remeasured using a Goldmann Applanation Tonometer and your field of view will be reassessed using a Henson Computerised Field Screener. If findings from this visit are also borderline, a further test will be booked and only if those findings are borderline will you be referred to hospital.
