Ultimate Eye Examination
Our most thorough eye examination combining OCT, Optomap and visual field testing. Designed for patients over 40 or those with specific eye health concerns, this 45-60 minute exam detects early signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease. The service includes pachymetry measurements and detailed analysis of retinal health using exclusive technology available only at our practice. Patients receive expert analysis and personalised recommendations for maintaining optimal eye health.
Dry Eye Clinic
Specialist clinic offering advanced diagnosis and treatment for dry eye conditions. Using Medmont Meridia Pro imaging and Inflammadry testing, we create personalised treatment plans incorporating Blephex eyelid cleaning and Meibomian Gland Expression. The clinic provides both initial consultations (90-120 minutes) and follow-up appointments with specialist dry eye products available. Our treatments address both immediate symptoms and long-term management strategies.
OCT Scans
Optical Coherence Tomography scans providing 3D images of retinal layers and optic nerve. This non-invasive test detects subtle changes in eye health that may indicate glaucoma, macular degeneration or other conditions. The 15-20 minute procedure requires no special preparation and forms part of our advanced eye health monitoring. Available as standalone tests or included in comprehensive examinations for detailed diagnostic analysis.
Optomap Retinal Imaging
Ultra-wide retinal imaging capturing 80% of the retina in a single scan. This non-invasive procedure provides a comprehensive view of retinal health, detecting early signs of eye disease that might otherwise go unnoticed. The quick, painless scan complements OCT technology to give a complete picture of eye health. Particularly beneficial for diabetic patients and those with family histories of eye conditions.
Community Urgent Eyecare Service
NHS-funded emergency eye care service for sudden vision changes, eye injuries and acute conditions. Available with same-day appointments, our qualified optometrists use specialist equipment to diagnose and treat urgent eye problems. The service handles cases including chemical burns, sudden vision loss and retinal detachment symptoms. Patients receive prompt assessment and referral to specialist hospitals when required.
