Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations use state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to assess both vision and eye health. The 30-minute tests include digital retinal photography and intraocular pressure measurements, detecting potential health issues beyond vision correction. Qualified optometrists provide detailed explanations of results and personalised recommendations.
Contact Lens Fitting
We offer specialist contact lens fittings for all prescriptions, including multifocal and astigmatic corrections. Our aftercare service includes follow-up appointments and home delivery options. With access to all major brands, we ensure comfortable, customised vision solutions tailored to individual lifestyles and budgets.

We offer prescription sports goggles and sunglasses designed for specific activities like cycling, skiing, and water sports, ensuring optimal vision protection.
