Services
Eye Tests
Our comprehensive eye exams ensure accurate vision correction and early detection of eye conditions. Using advanced techniques, we assess eye health, prescription accuracy, and systemic health indicators. NHS-funded options are available for eligible patients, while private tests include detailed ocular pressure and field testing.
Retinal Photography
Retinal photography captures detailed images of your retina to detect conditions like glaucoma, diabetes, and macular degeneration. This non-invasive scan provides immediate results and a permanent health record, enabling proactive monitoring of eye and systemic health changes over time.
Contact Lens Consultations
We offer tailored contact lens trials and fittings for various needs, including disposables, toric, and multifocal lenses. Our optometrists provide hands-on training on insertion, removal, and care, ensuring comfort and safety. Aftercare packages include annual check-ups and emergency adjustments for ongoing lens users.
Emergency Eye Care
Our urgent eye care addresses redness, pain, or sudden vision changes with priority appointments. Using slit-lamp analysis and dilation techniques, we diagnose issues like infections, retinal detachment, or foreign objects. Charges apply, with immediate relief and specialist referrals available when needed.
Repairs and Adjustments
We provide free minor frame adjustments and repairs while you wait. For extensive damage, we offer cost-effective replacements of parts like nose pads or arms at a quarter to half the frame's price. Specialist welding services restore broken frames with minimal downtime for essential eyewear users.
