Services
Eye Tests
Our comprehensive eye tests include ocular health checks, prescription assessments, and early detection of conditions like glaucoma and diabetes. Lasting 30 minutes, examinations evaluate vision quality, eye muscle performance, and internal eye health. We recommend biennial tests for adults and annual checks for children and seniors.
Designer Frames
We offer a curated collection of designer glasses and sunglasses, including petite sizing options for smaller faces. Our frames combine style with functionality, with assistance available from optical advisers to help choose suitable shapes, sizes, and materials that complement facial features and lifestyle needs.
Contact Lenses
Specialist contact lens services include fittings for complex prescriptions, dry eye management, and teaching insertion/removal techniques. We provide trial lenses and follow-up support, with experience handling challenging cases such as post-stroke patients requiring one-handed lens application.
Zeiss Lenses
ZEISS specialist lenses feature back-surface technology for reduced distortion and DuraVision coatings for durability. Options include polarised lenses for glare reduction, varifocals with expanded viewing zones, and transition lenses adapting to light conditions, all optimised through individual vision profiling.
Digital Dispensing
Using Seiko digital dispensing equipment, we capture measurements to 0.1mm accuracy for custom varifocals. This considers frame fit, head movement patterns, and occupational needs to create tailored lens prescriptions that enhance visual comfort and adaptability in different environments.
