Services
Advanced Eye Examination
Our comprehensive eye examinations utilise state-of-the-art diagnostic technology to assess ocular health and vision quality. The 30-minute process includes retinal imaging, intraocular pressure measurement, and detailed refractive error analysis. Our optometrists provide clear explanations of results and recommend tailored vision correction solutions while monitoring for early signs of eye disease.
Myopia Management
Specialised treatment programmes for children and young adults to slow progressive short-sightedness. We employ evidence-based methods including orthokeratology lenses and multifocal contact lenses. Our approach combines regular monitoring with lifestyle advice to optimise visual development and reduce long-term eye health risks associated with high myopia.
Contact Lens Fitting
Expert fitting and aftercare for all contact lens types including silicone hydrogel, toric, and multifocal lenses. We conduct thorough eye surface assessments to determine suitability and provide comprehensive training on insertion, removal, and care routines. Our follow-up appointments ensure ongoing comfort and ocular health maintenance.
Niche Eyewear Selection
Curated collection of exclusive eyewear brands not found in high-street stores. Our optical experts provide face shape analysis and colour matching to help clients select frames that enhance both vision and personal style. We offer premium lens options with advanced coatings for optimal visual clarity and durability.
Children's Eyecare
Specialised eye examinations for children aged 4+ using child-friendly diagnostic techniques. We assess visual development, binocular vision function, and screen for common childhood eye conditions. Our team provides clear guidance to parents on monitoring visual milestones and managing vision-related learning difficulties.
