Services
Eye examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations take 30 minutes and assess both vision correction needs and overall eye health. The process identifies potential issues like high blood pressure or diabetes through ocular indicators. We recommend biennial tests for most adults, with more frequent assessments for those with existing conditions or family eye health histories.
OCT scanning
Our Topcon Triton OCT scanner provides hospital-grade imaging of retinal structures and optic nerves. This non-invasive technology detects early signs of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. The scan complements standard eye tests by creating detailed cross-sectional images of eye tissue layers for more accurate diagnosis and monitoring.
Contact lenses
We offer comprehensive contact lens services including daily disposables, reusable lenses, astigmatic corrections, and multifocal options. Our specialists provide trial fittings and usage guidance to ensure comfort and proper eye health. We stock major lens brands and provide aftercare support for both new and experienced wearers.
Spectacles
Our practice offers a wide selection of prescription spectacles for adults and children, including designer frames and value options. We provide single vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses with anti-reflective coatings. The 'buy one, get one half price' offer applies to identical prescriptions, with expert fitting and adjustment services included.
Children's eyewear
We specialise in children's vision correction with durable frames and lenses designed for active lifestyles. Our staff helps parents select age-appropriate eyewear that meets optical requirements while considering comfort and style preferences. We provide guidance on proper care and usage to ensure children maintain good visual health.
