Services
Advanced Eye Examination
Our comprehensive eye exams use cutting-edge technology to detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. The 45-minute assessment includes retinal imaging and OCT scans to examine retinal layers beneath the surface. This service helps identify potential vision threats before symptoms appear, particularly beneficial for those with family eye health histories.
Dry Eye Assessments
Specialist evaluations identify causes of dry, irritated eyes through tear film analysis and gland function tests. We create custom management plans incorporating warm compresses, lid hygiene routines, and advanced lubricant therapies. Our optometrists address environmental and lifestyle factors contributing to discomfort while monitoring long-term eye surface health.
OCT Scans
Optical Coherence Tomography provides 3D cross-sectional views of retinal layers using light wave technology. This non-invasive scan detects subtle changes in retinal structure, enabling early diagnosis of conditions like diabetic retinopathy and vitreous detachments. Results are stored for comparative analysis during future appointments to track eye health progression.
Express Glasses Service
Our on-site laboratories in Leeds and London Street enable rapid lens manufacturing for most prescriptions. Single-vision lenses can be ready within an hour, while varifocals benefit from Hoya's 48-hour express service. This service combines precision glazing technology with expert frame adjustments to minimise waiting times without compromising quality standards.
Myopia Control
Specialist contact lenses slow short-sightedness progression in children by up to 59% through dual-focus optical design. The MiSight 1 day lenses correct vision while managing eye growth patterns. This service includes comprehensive assessments, trial periods, and follow-up monitoring to ensure optimal visual development outcomes for young patients.
