Services
Advanced Eye Exam
Our comprehensive eye exams use Carl Zeiss technology to assess vision and ocular health. The 30-40 minute process includes binocular vision assessments, intraocular pressure measurement, and retinal imaging. This service ensures early detection of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration while providing accurate optical corrections.
Myopia Management
Designed for children, this service slows short-sightedness progression by ~60% using Hoya MiYOSMART lenses or Coopervision MiSight contact lenses. The direct debit plan includes regular monitoring and additional benefits to reduce lifetime ocular disease risks while improving daily visual clarity for learning and play.

Available for Calderdale and Kirklees residents, this scheme addresses sudden eye issues like redness, vision loss, or floaters. Patients receive immediate examination with retinal scanning, with direct referrals to local clinics if needed. Ensures rapid diagnosis and treatment for acute ocular conditions.
Personal Frame Styling
Our stylists use Zeiss Visufit 1000 technology for precise facial measurements and avatar-based frame comparisons. This service combines expert advice on face shape, skin tone, and prescription needs with digital tools to ensure optimal fit, comfort, and style for every patient.
20/20 Eyecare Plan
