We provide eye examinations at home for those with mobility issues, bringing over 200 frames and retinal photography equipment. This service includes thorough assessments and personalised advice, ensuring comfort and accessibility for elderly or disabled clients.
Low Vision Clinics
Specialist clinics for individuals with sight impairments offer devices like magnifiers and telescopes. We assess lifestyle needs to recommend aids that improve daily tasks, enhancing independence and quality of life for those with conditions like macular degeneration.
Children's Eye Tests
Designed for children from age three, these tests identify vision problems early to prevent long-term issues. We use child-friendly methods and offer NHS-funded assessments, ensuring a relaxed environment to build lifelong eye care habits.
BlephEx Treatment
This in-office procedure treats blepharitis by removing bacterial debris, reducing chronic irritation. Quick and well-tolerated, it improves eyelid health and prevents dry eye syndrome, offering a non-invasive solution for long-term comfort.
