Services
Eye Examination
Our comprehensive NHS and private eye examinations use advanced technology to assess vision and detect early signs of ocular or systemic health issues. With optometrists averaging 15 years' experience per practice, we ensure continuity of care and precise diagnosis. Patients benefit from referrals to NHS trusts or private ophthalmologists, alongside unhurried consultations tailored to individual needs.
3D OCT Scans
Ocular Coherence Tomography creates 3D scans of the eye's layers, revealing early-stage conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration undetectable through conventional methods. This non-invasive, painless procedure provides permanent health records and can be scheduled separately or after routine exams. Early detection up to four years ahead of standard tests is achievable.
Myopia Management
We offer evidence-based interventions to slow childhood myopia progression, including MiSight 1 Day contact lenses, MiYOSMART spectacle lenses, and outdoor activity guidance. Our approach combines specialist optics with lifestyle advice to reduce long-term risks of cataracts and retinal detachment. Early intervention maximizes effectiveness, with tailored plans for each child's needs.
Dry Eye Assessment
Our dedicated dry eye evaluations identify causes of discomfort through specialized testing, offering management strategies like lid hygiene products, environmental adjustments, and contact lens modifications. We address age-related and condition-induced dryness, providing practical solutions to reduce symptoms such as soreness, blurred vision, and reflex tearing without permanent cures.
Hearing Care Services
In partnership with The Hearing Care Partnership, we provide free hearing assessments, advanced hearing aids, and tinnitus management. Services include microsuction ear wax removal, custom hearing protection, and monthly payment plans for devices. Our audiologists deliver personalized solutions, from diagnostic testing to ongoing support for improved auditory health.
