Services
Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations use hospital-grade diagnostic equipment to assess both vision and ocular health. Each 40-minute appointment includes advanced imaging and pressure testing to detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Our experienced optometrists provide detailed explanations of results and recommendations.
Specialist Lenses
We offer cutting-edge lens technologies including Varilux X Series varifocals and Eyezen digital lenses. Our specialists fit complex prescriptions for conditions like keratoconus and provide custom solutions for night driving, visual stress, and macular degeneration. All lenses come with expert fitting and follow-up adjustments.
Diagnostic Imaging
Our 4D OCT scanners and anterior segment photography equipment provide detailed retinal analysis. These advanced imaging techniques enable early detection of eye diseases and precise monitoring of existing conditions. The technology surpasses standard NHS equipment in both resolution and diagnostic capability.
Hearing Care
In partnership with The Hearing Care Partnership, we provide free hearing assessments and modern hearing aid solutions. Our services include discreet digital hearing aids, tinnitus management, and ear wax removal using micro-suction techniques. All consultations are conducted by qualified audiologists.
