Services
Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye examinations utilise Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to detect ocular anomalies invisible to standard equipment. This advanced diagnostic technology enables early detection of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Patients receive detailed explanations of their eye health status and tailored recommendations for vision correction or medical intervention.
Hearing Tests
State-of-the-art audiological evaluations conducted by an NHS-trained specialist identify hearing impairments through precise diagnostic testing. The process includes tympanometry and pure-tone audiometry to determine hearing thresholds. Results inform customised treatment plans that may include hearing protection or assistive devices.
Wax Removal
Professional micro-suction wax removal safely clears ear canal obstructions without irrigation. This modern technique reduces infection risks while providing immediate hearing improvement. The procedure is performed by qualified audiologists using specialist equipment for patient comfort and safety.
OCT Scans
Optical Coherence Tomography creates 3D retinal cross-sections revealing microscopic structural changes. This non-invasive scan detects early-stage eye diseases through detailed layer analysis. Results are stored for longitudinal tracking of ocular health changes over time.
Hearing Aids
Custom-fitted hearing aids selected from premium brands address individual auditory requirements. We offer digital devices with noise reduction and directional microphone technology. Post-fitting support includes adjustment periods and ongoing maintenance services for optimal device performance.
