Services
Eye Test
Our comprehensive eye tests use Rodenstock DNEye scanning technology to measure vision up to 0.01 DPO precision. The 2-hour examination includes retinal imaging, corneal topography, and dry eye assessment. Patients receive detailed explanations of their eye health with digital visualisations of ocular structures.
Myopia Management
Specialist myopia control using orthokeratology night lenses reshapes the cornea during sleep. This non-invasive treatment provides daytime vision correction while slowing myopia progression in children. The program includes regular monitoring and customised treatment plans.
Dry Eye Clinic
Led by dry eye specialists, our clinic offers advanced treatments for ocular surface disease. The service includes tear film analysis, meibomian gland assessment, and personalised management plans using cutting-edge diagnostic equipment and therapeutic interventions.
Prescription Glasses
Customised glasses dispensing combines facial mapping technology with expert optical dispensing. We offer premium brands like Rodenstock and Zeiss, with frame selection based on facial geometry and lifestyle requirements. All prescriptions consider 12 biometric parameters for optimal vision.
Contact Lenses
Personalised contact lens fitting uses digital corneal mapping for perfect lens geometry. The service includes free trials, specialist lenses for complex prescriptions, and orthokeratology options. Patients receive comprehensive training on lens handling and care routines.
