Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye examinations use advanced diagnostic technology to assess vision health and detect potential issues. The process includes detailed retinal imaging and visual acuity testing, ensuring accurate prescriptions for glasses or contact lenses. Patients receive clear explanations of results and tailored recommendations for maintaining optimal eye health.
OCT Scanning
Optical Coherence Tomography provides high-resolution 3D images of the retina for early detection of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. This non-invasive scan takes less than 2 minutes per eye and forms part of our premium eye care package. Results are immediately available for detailed discussion with our optometrists.
Designer Frames
We offer a curated collection of stylish spectacles from leading designers and independent brands. Our opticians provide expert styling advice to match frames with facial features and lifestyle needs. The selection includes vintage-inspired pieces and contemporary designs, all available with custom lens options for perfect visual correction.
Contact Lenses
Our contact lens services include initial fittings, trial lenses, and ongoing aftercare. We stock daily disposables, monthly lenses, and specialist options for astigmatism and presbyopia. Patients receive comprehensive training on insertion, removal, and care routines to ensure safe and comfortable wear.
Myopia Control
Specialist lenses and treatment plans help slow the progression of short-sightedness in children. The programme combines orthokeratology lenses with regular monitoring of visual development. Parents receive detailed guidance on environmental factors affecting myopia progression and strategies to support their child's eye health.
