Services
Eye Tests
Our comprehensive eye examinations assess visual acuity, eye health, and potential vision problems. Using advanced diagnostic equipment, we detect conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. The tests include intraocular pressure measurement, retinal imaging, and visual field analysis, with specialist follow-up available for complex cases.
Contact Lenses
We offer tailored contact lens fittings for all vision requirements, including toric lenses for astigmatism and multifocal options. Our practitioners provide trial lenses, usage instruction, and aftercare support. We stock premium brands like Acuvue, Bausch & Lomb, and CibaVision, with options for daily, weekly, and monthly disposables.
Hearing Checks
Our free hearing assessments evaluate auditory function and identify hearing loss patterns. The 60-minute evaluation includes pure-tone audiometry and tympanometry. For confirmed hearing aid candidates, we offer home visits for device fitting and adjustment, with ongoing support for optimal adaptation.
Designer Frames
Our optical collection features premium designer frames from Armani, Diesel, and other leading brands. We offer single-vision, bifocal, and varifocal lens options with anti-reflective coatings. Benefit from NHS-funded spectacles for eligible patients and competitive pricing on premium eyewear collections.
Children's Eye Care
Specialised eye examinations for children from six months old, using age-appropriate testing methods. We assess visual development, binocular vision, and learning-related vision problems. Early detection of conditions like amblyopia and strabismus ensures timely intervention, with follow-up care for vision therapy when required.
