Eye Examination
Our comprehensive eye examinations, lasting 30 minutes, assess visual acuity and detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Using advanced technology, we provide tailored recommendations for glasses, contact lenses, or further care. Ideal for patients seeking thorough, preventative eye health management.
Contact Lenses
We offer custom contact lens fittings, including daily disposables, toric, and varifocal options. Our optometrists ensure comfort and accuracy, with schemes starting at 10/month. Patients benefit from free replacements, solutions, and unlimited aftercare appointments for optimal vision correction.
Children's Eyecare
Specialist care for children, including precision-tinted filters to aid reading difficulties and dyslexia. Our practices use intuitive colorimeters for accurate assessments. Parents receive guidance on managing visual development and ensuring academic performance through early intervention.
OCT Retinal Imaging
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) creates detailed retinal images to detect diseases like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. This non-invasive scan provides cross-sectional views, enabling early diagnosis and monitoring of eye health for long-term vision preservation.
Home Visits
We provide home eye examinations for patients unable to visit our practices. Services include sight testing, eyewear adjustments, and health assessments. This service ensures accessibility for elderly or mobility-restricted individuals, maintaining continuity of care in familiar surroundings.
