Services
Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye exams use the latest optical technology to assess vision quality and ocular health. These examinations evaluate prescription requirements, screen for common conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration, and monitor eye development in children. The service takes between 20-30 minutes with extended options incorporating OCT imaging for more detailed retinal analysis.
OCT Retinal Imaging
This diagnostic service employs Optical Coherence Tomography to produce 3D images of the eye's internal structures. The non-invasive scan detects early-stage eye conditions including diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. Recommended for patients aged 40+, those with family eye history, or individuals experiencing vision changes, the procedure takes approximately 15 minutes alongside standard eye examinations.
Children's Eyecare
Specialised eye assessments for children aged 3-16 years focus on vision development and learning-related eye health. The service includes myopia progression tracking, sports vision evaluations, and visual stress assessments using coloured overlays. We also offer contact lens fittings for suitable candidates and provide NHS assistance for prescription eyewear purchases.
Hearing Care
Our hearing assessments identify early signs of hearing loss through professional diagnostic testing. The service includes ear wax removal using micro-suction technology and provision of Beltone hearing aids with five-year warranties. Patients receive expert advice on device selection and lifetime aftercare support for optimal hearing outcomes.
Contact Lenses
We offer comprehensive contact lens services including prescription assessments, fitting trials, and ongoing aftercare. Specialised options include toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocal lenses, and myopia control lenses. Our Ortho-K therapy provides overnight vision correction through specially designed rigid gas permeable lenses that reshape the cornea during sleep.
