Eye Examination
We offer comprehensive eye examinations with two tailored options. Our standard test includes medical history assessment and clinical vision checks. The premium examination adds retinal photography and intraocular pressure measurements for enhanced ocular health analysis. Both meet the latest clinical standards, with OCT scanning available for detailed 3D retinal imaging.
Contact Lenses
Our specialist contact lens opticians provide free trial fittings and comprehensive aftercare. We offer modern lens materials with improved oxygen permeability, including options for astigmatism and multifocal requirements. Patients benefit from our Optima Contact Lens Plan with monthly payment options and replacement guarantees.
Children's Eyecare
We provide NHS-funded eye tests for children under 16 with no reading ability requirements. Our child-friendly assessments check visual development, muscle balance, and ocular health. We offer free spectacles under NHS guidelines and family-focused appointments to ensure comfortable examination experiences.

Our dedicated dry eye clinics address symptoms like redness and grittiness through personalised treatment plans. We conduct thorough assessments of tear production and environmental factors. Management options include specialised lubricants, lid hygiene programmes, and lifestyle recommendations to prevent recurrence.
