Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations combine traditional testing with advanced OCT technology to assess both vision and eye health. Each 40-minute appointment includes retinal imaging for early detection of conditions like glaucoma. Patients receive detailed explanations of results and personalised recommendations for corrective eyewear or further care.
Contact Lenses
We offer specialist contact lens assessments tailored to individual eye conditions and lifestyles. Our experienced optometrists fit various lens types including daily disposables and extended wear options. The service includes trial lenses, fitting adjustments, and comprehensive aftercare to ensure optimal comfort and vision correction.
OCT Technology
Our Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) equipment provides 3D imaging of the retina for detailed eye health analysis. This technology enables early detection of macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and other ocular conditions. The non-invasive scan forms part of our premium eye examination service.
Children's Eyecare
We provide child-friendly eye examinations focusing on developmental vision needs. The service includes NHS-funded tests for under-16s and tailored spectacle solutions with durable, fashionable frames. Our team addresses learning-related vision issues and monitors eye development through regular check-ups.
