Advanced Clinical Services for Complex Needs

At Alexander Kobrin Optometrists, our specialist services go beyond routine care — offering comprehensive clinical solutions for patients with more complex or urgent visual health needs. These services are provided in addition to our standard eye examinations, and are led by highly experienced optometrists with hospital-grade diagnostic tools and Independent Prescriber qualifications.

We understand that timely, specialist attention can make all the difference when it comes to your eye health. That’s why we’re proud to provide extended services typically found in secondary care settings — right here in Potters Bar.

Independent Prescriber-led Emergency Eye Care

When you experience sudden changes in your vision, eye pain, or trauma, timely treatment is crucial. Our Independent Prescriber-qualified optometrists are licensed to diagnose and prescribe treatment for a range of urgent ocular conditions — saving you a trip to A&E.

Whether it's a suspected infection, foreign body, inflammation or visual disturbance, we’re equipped to provide prompt, thorough care when you need it most.

Monitoring for Glaucoma and Cataracts

We offer ongoing care for patients diagnosed with or at risk of glaucoma and cataracts. Using visual field testing, OCT scans and intraocular pressure monitoring, we track changes over time and work closely with your ophthalmologist to ensure seamless, informed care.

My wife damaged her frames in an accident, called the practice, treated courteously, was able to bring the frames and a 'while you wait service' was carried out, efficiently and timeously, cannot recommend this practice highly enough!

Attended the practice, saw Brian. Totally professional and very experienced. No hassles since then. Highly recommend this practice.
