Services
Eye Examination
We conduct comprehensive eye examinations using advanced diagnostic equipment to assess vision and ocular health. Our tests include NHS and private options, tailored to individual needs. The service ensures early detection of conditions like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy while providing accurate prescriptions for glasses or contact lenses.
Retinal Photography
This service captures detailed images of the retina to monitor eye health and detect diseases. It provides a wider view than traditional methods, aiding diagnosis of conditions like hypertension and age-related macular degeneration. Images are stored digitally for ongoing monitoring and comparison during future visits.
Contact Lens Assessment
We offer trial periods for contact lenses with follow-up assessments to ensure comfort and suitability. Our service includes handling instruction, cleaning guidance, and adjustments for optimal performance. Patients receive diagnostic lenses and scheduled follow-ups to refine their prescription over several months.
Prescription Glasses
We provide high-quality prescription glasses with a choice of frames and lenses. Our service includes anti-reflective, hard-coated, and polarised lenses tailored to lifestyle needs. Patients receive expert advice on frame selection and lens options to ensure optimal vision and comfort.
Home Visits
For housebound patients, we offer home visits to conduct eye examinations and provide eyewear solutions. This service includes mobile diagnostic equipment and tailored advice on lenses and frames.
