Services
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
Our OCT scans provide detailed retinal imaging equivalent to optical ultrasound. This non-invasive technique detects eye diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration up to four years earlier than traditional methods. Patients benefit from enhanced diagnostic accuracy and preventative care planning.
Myopia Control
We offer evidence-based interventions to slow childhood myopia progression. Using specialist contact lenses and atropine therapy, we reduce risks of severe eye conditions. Our program includes regular monitoring and parental education to ensure optimal outcomes.
Low Vision Services
Our WGOS Level 3 service improves residual vision through optical and non-optical devices. We provide magnifiers, lighting solutions, and certification for sight-impaired benefits. This Welsh Government-funded service enhances quality of life for patients with permanent vision loss.
Emergency Eye Care
Available through WGOS Level 2 and 5 assessments, our emergency service handles acute conditions like infections and injuries. We prescribe medications and coordinate with hospitals when necessary. Patients avoid unnecessary A&E visits through our rapid community-based care.
Contact Lens Assessment
As an Acuvue Centre of Excellence, we offer precision contact lens fittings using advanced diagnostic tools. Our service includes suitability testing, trial lenses, and ongoing aftercare. Patients receive tailored solutions for comfort and visual clarity.
