Eye Examinations
We provide comprehensive NHS and private eye examinations to detect vision issues and monitor eye health. Our tests include glaucoma screening for patients over 40 and age-related macular degeneration assessments. We use advanced diagnostic tools to ensure accurate prescriptions and early detection of conditions like diabetes and hypertension.
Spectacles
Our practice offers a wide range of designer frames and lenses tailored to individual needs. We specialise in Essilor and Varilux lenses, including Xperio polarised and Transitions options. Our team helps patients select comfortable, stylish eyewear while ensuring optimal visual correction for work, sports, or daily activities.
Contact Lenses
We fit contact lenses for all prescriptions, including toric and multifocal options. Our dedicated practitioner provides aftercare appointments to monitor eye health and lens condition. We offer daily disposables, monthly, and continuous wear lenses from brands like CooperVision and Acuvue, with solutions for myopia control in children.
Children's Optician
We specialise in children's eye care, using advanced technology to test vision from an early age. Our services include squint detection, visual development assessments, and fun, affordable frames. We recommend pre-school eye checks to support academic performance and ensure both eyes work effectively together.
OCT Eye Scan
Our Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scan creates detailed 3D images of the retina for early disease detection. This non-invasive test helps diagnose glaucoma, macular degeneration, and retinal detachments. We recommend OCT scans for patients with family histories of eye conditions or chronic illnesses like diabetes.
