Eye Examinations
We provide comprehensive eye examinations using advanced technology including OCT scans, fundus photography, and slit lamp examinations. Our optometrists assess vision, eye health, and detect conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Both NHS and private appointments are available for adults and children, with detailed clinical notes maintained for ongoing care.
Contact Lenses
We supply all contact lens types including daily disposables, monthly lenses, toric, and multifocal options. Our specialists provide fitting services, aftercare, and direct debit schemes for regular supplies. We offer training for new wearers and transfer services for existing users, ensuring comfort and optimal vision while maintaining eye health through regular check-ups.
Hearing Care
Our audiologist offers complimentary hearing assessments, wax removal, and tinnitus management. We provide hearing devices with lifetime aftercare, home visits, and repair services. Using Beltone technology, we offer invisible and rechargeable hearing aids with warranties, supported by live demonstrations to showcase the latest solutions for improved quality of life.
Eyewear Styling
We curate a wide range of stylish frames and lenses from premium brands, individually selected to suit personal style and vision needs. Our qualified dispensing opticians provide expert fitting, repair services, and low-vision aids, ensuring each customer receives tailored eyewear solutions that combine functionality with aesthetic appeal in our riverside practice.
OCT Scans
Our Optical Coherence Tomography scans provide detailed retinal imaging to detect early signs of eye diseases. Recommended for patients over 25 or at risk of glaucoma, this non-invasive test creates layered images of ocular structures. While optional for private patients, this enhanced diagnostic service offers crucial insights into long-term eye health using cutting-edge technology.
