Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations utilise advanced diagnostic technology to assess vision health and detect potential ocular conditions. The 45-minute appointments include retinal imaging and intraocular pressure measurements. Suitable for all ages, these examinations help maintain optimal eye health through early detection of potential issues.
Contact Lenses
We offer specialist contact lens fittings for various vision requirements, including astigmatism and presbyopia. Our practitioners provide trial lenses and aftercare appointments to ensure optimal comfort and vision. The service includes guidance on proper lens handling and maintenance for safe, effective wear.
Bespoke Eyewear
Our dispensing team helps select frames tailored to individual prescriptions and lifestyle needs. We stock premium brands like Rodenstock and Tom Davies, offering lightweight materials and advanced lens technologies. The service includes precise measurements for optimal lens positioning and visual comfort.
Orthokeratology
This non-surgical treatment uses specially designed contact lenses worn overnight to reshape the cornea. Ideal for myopia management, particularly in children, it provides clear daytime vision without corrective lenses. Our practitioners monitor progress through regular follow-up appointments.
Low Vision Solutions
We provide specialist optical devices and magnification systems for patients with significant vision loss. The service includes detailed assessment of remaining vision capabilities and customised recommendations to maximise functional vision for daily activities.
