Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations use advanced diagnostic technology to assess vision quality and eye health. Qualified optometrists conduct thorough assessments suitable for all ages, including specialised tests for children and elderly patients. The 30-minute appointments include detailed analysis of visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and retinal health.
Contact Lenses
We provide custom contact lens fittings for various vision requirements, including daily disposables and multifocal options. Our optometrists offer specialist advice on lens materials, wearing schedules, and care routines. The service includes trial lenses and follow-up assessments to ensure optimal comfort and vision correction.
Digital Retinal Photography
This advanced diagnostic service captures detailed images of the retina using state-of-the-art Topcon equipment. The non-invasive procedure helps detect early signs of eye conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Results are stored for comparative analysis during subsequent examinations, enabling proactive eye health management.
Domiciliary Eyecare
Our mobile eye care service brings professional examinations to patients' homes, particularly benefiting those with mobility challenges. Fully equipped to conduct comprehensive assessments, our optometrists provide on-site vision testing and eyewear adjustments while maintaining the same clinical standards as in-practice examinations.
Designer Frames
We offer an extensive selection of premium designer frames from leading brands, combining style with optical precision. Our dispensing opticians provide expert guidance on frame selection based on facial geometry and lifestyle requirements. The collection includes lightweight materials and innovative designs for both corrective and sunglasses.
