Services
Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations use the latest technology including Fundus cameras and OCT scanning to assess vision and eye health. These tests screen for conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration while checking visual acuity. Patients receive expert analysis and clear explanations of their eye health status.
Contact Lenses
We offer specialist contact lens assessments and fittings for all eye types. Our optometrists conduct detailed evaluations to determine suitability and provide ongoing aftercare. We supply various lens types including astigmatism and dry eye solutions with expert guidance.
OCT Scans
Optical Coherence Tomography creates 3D images of the eye's internal structures for early detection of sight-threatening conditions. This non-invasive scan forms part of our advanced eye examinations, enabling precise diagnosis and monitoring of eye health.
Children's Eyecare
Specialist eye examinations for children from infancy through adolescence. Our interactive assessments detect vision problems early while our child-friendly environment helps young patients feel comfortable. We provide age-appropriate eyewear solutions and developmental monitoring.
Hearing Care
In partnership with Amplify Hearing, we offer free hearing tests and specialist hearing solutions. Our services include wax removal using microsuction and supply of rechargeable hearing aids with lifetime aftercare support from qualified audiologists.
