Services
Eye Tests
We provide comprehensive eye examinations for adults and children, using advanced diagnostic tools to assess vision and eye health. Our tests include NHS-eligible options and private assessments. Regular eye tests help detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration, ensuring timely intervention.
Contact Lenses
Our team fits all contact lens types, including soft, toric, and multifocal lenses. We offer personalised consultations to determine the best options for comfort and vision clarity. We also provide guidance on hygiene and maintenance for safe, effective use.
Retinal Imaging
Retinal imaging captures detailed images of the eye's back to monitor health and detect diseases. This service is included in private eye tests and available for an additional fee with NHS tests. It creates a permanent record for tracking changes over time.
Dry Eye Consultations
We diagnose and manage dry eye syndrome through specialised tests and tailored treatments. Options include artificial tears, lifestyle adjustments, and therapies for underlying conditions like blepharitis. Our approach focuses on long-term relief and eye health.
Myopia Management
We offer solutions to slow myopia progression in children using advanced contact lenses. This service includes regular monitoring and advice on lifestyle factors affecting vision. Early intervention helps reduce risks of complications like retinal detachment later in life.
