Services
Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye exams use advanced diagnostic technology to assess vision quality and eye health. Qualified optometrists perform binocular vision checks, intraocular pressure measurements, and retinal imaging to detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. The enhanced examination includes 3D OCT scanning for detailed cross-sectional views of ocular structures.
Hearing Assessments
Professional audiological evaluations conducted by registered audiologist Gavin Wynne. Diagnostic procedures include otoscopy, pure-tone audiometry, and speech recognition testing to identify hearing loss patterns. Complimentary initial assessments include personalized recommendations for hearing aid solutions or medical referrals when required.
3D OCT Scanning
Non-invasive optical coherence tomography creates high-resolution 3D maps of retinal layers. This technology enables early detection of sight-threatening conditions including diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, and optic nerve abnormalities. Baseline imaging establishes reference points for monitoring ocular health changes over time.
Glaucoma Screening
Specialized testing combines intraocular pressure measurement with optic nerve head analysis and visual field screening. Early detection protocols identify risk factors before significant vision loss occurs. Patients receive detailed explanations of test results and management options for confirmed diagnoses.
Contact Lens Fittings
Personalized contact lens evaluations consider lifestyle needs and ocular physiology. Trial fittings available for daily disposables, extended wear, and specialty lenses. Comprehensive aftercare includes follow-up assessments to ensure optimal comfort and corneal health with ongoing lens usage.
