Services
Eye Examination
Our comprehensive eye examinations take at least 40 minutes, combining traditional tests with advanced OCT scans. We assess vision requirements, eye health, and general health indicators. The extended appointment allows detailed discussion of results and tailored recommendations for corrective eyewear or further treatment.
Children's Eye Examination
Specialised examinations for children from age 2, using child-friendly techniques developed through years of experience. We check for common childhood vision problems and offer NHS-funded examinations. Our approach ensures accurate results while making children feel comfortable throughout the process.
Contact Lenses
We offer comprehensive contact lens services including fitting, aftercare, and specialist options. Our Eye Care Plan spreads costs monthly while covering examinations and lens replacements. We fit children from age 8 and provide training in proper lens handling and care techniques.
OCT Scans
Ocular Coherence Tomography provides detailed cross-sectional images of eye structures. This non-invasive, painless procedure takes 5-10 minutes during routine exams, enabling early detection of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration through comparative analysis of retinal layers.
Sports Eyewear
Specialist sports eyewear solutions with prescription options for various activities. We apply performance-enhancing tints and coatings to improve visual acuity. Our dispensers recommend sport-specific frames and lenses that combine durability with optimal vision correction for active lifestyles.
