Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive 40-minute eye examinations use advanced optical technology to assess vision and screen for conditions like glaucoma. We evaluate visual acuity, eye health, and systemic indicators through retinal scans. Tailored to all ages, including children from three years old, our exams ensure accurate prescriptions and early detection of ocular health issues.
Contact Lenses
We specialize in fitting all contact lens types, including daily disposables and orthokeratology lenses. Our FreshVision scheme offers unlimited lens checks, eye exams, and replacements. Custom fitting processes use corneal topography for precision, with options for dry eye management and sports vision correction.
Eyewear
Our curated collection features designer brands like Tom Ford and niche labels offering unique styles. Expert styling advice considers face shape, colouring, and lifestyle needs. The range includes children's frames like Lazer Junior and premium sunglasses with UV protection for vision and fashion requirements.
Myopia Control
We offer clinically proven treatments to slow childhood myopia progression using Miyosmart spectacle lenses and orthokeratology. These evidence-based solutions reshape corneal curvature during sleep or through daily wear. Monitoring includes regular follow-ups to assess effectiveness and adjust treatment plans as needed.
Kids Eye Care
Specialized care for children's vision using age-appropriate testing methods. We identify developmental issues early through NHS-funded examinations and provide corrective solutions. Services include sports vision assessments and management of binocular vision disorders affecting learning performance.
