Services
Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations combine advanced imaging technology with expert clinical analysis to assess both vision and ocular health. Each appointment lasts up to an hour, allowing detailed assessment of eye coordination, focusing ability, and internal eye structures using hospital-grade equipment. Patients receive a personalised management plan explaining their eye health status and vision correction options tailored to their lifestyle needs.
Dry Eye Management
We offer holistic dry eye treatment plans based on thorough diagnostic assessment. Our approach combines advanced diagnostic techniques with tailored management strategies including specialist contact lenses, lid hygiene treatments, and environmental adaptations. The service addresses both immediate symptoms and long-term ocular surface health through evidence-based interventions.
Children's Eyecare
Specialised children's eye care services include early detection of vision problems affecting learning and development. We provide comprehensive assessments for infants from six months old, dyslexia-related visual stress evaluation, and myopia progression monitoring. The service includes NHS-funded examinations and optical vouchers for eligible patients, with child-friendly testing methods that don't require letter recognition.
Myopia Management
Our myopia control programme utilises evidence-based interventions to slow progression of short-sightedness in children. Treatment options include MiSight contact lenses, Miyosmart spectacle lenses, and orthokeratology. The service is supported by specialist training from the Brien Holden Vision Institute and includes regular monitoring to optimise treatment outcomes and reduce future eye health risks.
Visual Assessments
Specialist visual assessments investigate functional vision issues beyond basic sight correction. The service includes detailed evaluation of binocular vision, eye coordination, and visual stress symptoms using Intuitive Colorimetry and precision tinted lenses. Particularly beneficial for individuals with learning difficulties, the assessment identifies and manages visual factors that may impact reading ability and concentration.
