Services
Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations assess vision quality, eye health, and potential medical conditions. Using advanced diagnostic equipment, we detect issues like glaucoma and macular degeneration early. Suitable for all ages, including nervous patients and those with disabilities.
Contact Lens Fitting
We offer precision contact lens fittings with ongoing support for comfort and eye health. Our optometrists specialise in complex cases, including astigmatism and presbyopia. Regular reviews ensure optimal vision and lens performance.
NHS Spectacles
Eligible patients receive free NHS spectacles with a choice of frames. We provide durable, stylish options for children and adults, ensuring proper fit and visual correction. Expert adjustments and repairs available.
Home Visit Service
For housebound patients, we arrange home visits through our partnership with A1 Opticians. This service maintains our high standards of care while accommodating mobility challenges. Please contact us for availability.
Advanced Retinal Scanning
Using OCT and Optomap technology, we capture detailed 3D retinal images for early disease detection. This non-invasive screening identifies conditions like diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma before symptoms appear, enabling timely intervention.
