Services
Eye Examinations
Our advanced eye examinations use OCT and Optomap imaging to assess retinal health, with 60-minute appointments for adults and 30-minute sessions for children. We provide detailed analysis of vision, ocular movements, and interocular pressure, ensuring accurate prescriptions and early detection of conditions like glaucoma. Tailored to individual needs, our exams prioritise thoroughness and patient education.
Contact Lenses
We offer comprehensive contact lens services, including trials, fittings, and subscriptions for daily, reusable, toric, and multifocal lenses. Our optometrists provide free trials and expert guidance on lens selection based on prescription, lifestyle, and comfort. Home delivery options and membership plans ensure ongoing accessibility and affordability for all patients.
Myopia Management
Specialising in myopia management for children, we utilise Essilor Stellest lenses and axial length measurement with the Myopia Expert 700. Our monthly plans include regular monitoring, spectacle lenses, and accidental damage cover, aiming to slow myopia progression by up to 67% through clinically proven methods and personalised care.
Dry Eye Clinic
Our Dry Eye Clinic provides assessments and treatments like BlephEx for eyelid hygiene. We address symptoms such as dryness and irritation through advanced diagnostics and tailored therapies, focusing on improving eyelid health and long-term comfort. Education on self-care and environmental adjustments complements our clinical interventions.
