Services
Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations assess vision and eye health, identifying early signs of conditions like diabetes or hypertension. Conducted by experienced optometrists, these 30-minute appointments include detailed assessments of visual acuity and prescription needs. We recommend biennial tests, with more frequent checks for those with existing medical conditions.
Contact Lens Trials
We offer tailored contact lens packages, including daily, two-weekly, and monthly wear options. Our trials ensure optimal comfort and vision correction, with aftercare support to address adaptation needs. Competitive pricing and discount schemes are available for regular buyers.
One Hour Service
Most single-vision prescriptions can be fulfilled within an hour, subject to lens availability. We stock uncoated and coated lenses for immediate adjustments, allowing patients to wait while their glasses are prepared without compromising quality.
Diabetic Screenings
Annual diabetic retinopathy screenings involve pupil dilation and retinal photography to detect diabetes-related damage. Images are sent to hospitals for specialist analysis, ensuring early intervention to prevent vision loss through timely treatment.
Minor Eye Conditions
Registered Wirral GP patients over 16 can access urgent care for issues like red or watery eyes. We aim to see patients within 24 hours, with immediate appointments available for symptoms such as flashes or floaters requiring prompt attention.
