We provide accredited glaucoma screening and monitoring using state-of-the-art OCT scanners. Our optometrists perform comprehensive assessments including eye pressure measurement, visual field testing, and 3D optic nerve analysis. We collaborate with NHS trusts and private hospitals to ensure accurate diagnosis and appropriate referrals, with advanced technology eliminating the need for air-puff tests during examinations.

Our end-to-end cataract service covers pre- and post-operative care for NHS and private patients. We conduct initial assessments, coordinate referrals to preferred surgical providers, and manage post-operative follow-ups. Our comprehensive approach includes all necessary diagnostic tests, GP communication, and final spectacle prescription determination after surgery completion, ensuring seamless patient care throughout the treatment journey.

Our Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scans provide detailed retinal imaging for early detection of eye conditions. This non-invasive technology enables precise diagnosis of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. The enhanced sight test with OCT is included in our VeyeP eyecare plan, offering patients detailed retinal layer analysis and longitudinal monitoring of eye health changes over time.
