Services
Eye Examinations
We conduct comprehensive eye examinations for both NHS and private patients using advanced diagnostic techniques. Our optometrists assess visual acuity while monitoring ocular health through digital retinal photography. Patients receive personalised advice about corrective lenses and potential vision-related concerns, ensuring optimal eye care tailored to individual requirements.
Contact Lenses
Our specialists provide contact lens fittings suitable for various lifestyles and vision needs. We offer daily, monthly, and specialist corrective lenses including MiSight for myopia management. Patients receive professional guidance on lens selection, proper care techniques, and comfort optimisation to ensure safe and effective vision correction solutions that integrate seamlessly into daily activities.
Digital Retinal Photography
This diagnostic service captures detailed images of the retina to detect early signs of ocular conditions. We use high-resolution equipment to monitor retinal health during routine examinations. The imaging helps identify potential issues such as macular degeneration or diabetic retinopathy, enabling timely intervention and more effective long-term management of eye health.
Dry Eye Assessment
We conduct thorough evaluations of tear film quality and ocular surface health to address dry eye symptoms. Our optometrists recommend evidence-based treatments including specialised lubricants and environmental adaptations. The assessment helps develop personalised management strategies to alleviate discomfort and maintain optimal eye health for patients experiencing dryness or irritation.
Children's Eye Exam
Our child-friendly examinations assess visual development appropriate to the child's age and maturity. We use engaging techniques to evaluate eye health and vision correction needs while addressing parental concerns about learning-related visual difficulties. The service includes specialist colourimetry assessments for reading difficulties and myopia management options for growing eyes.
