Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations utilise advanced diagnostic technology including OCT imaging and retinal photography to detect ocular diseases and systemic health issues. The process involves detailed medical history assessment, prescription determination, and ocular health evaluation. Regular testing is recommended for children under eight and adults to maintain optimal visual health while enabling early detection of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration.
Spectacle Frames
We offer an extensive selection of designer and independent spectacle frames including Tom Ford, Lindberg, and Orgreen collections. Our independent status allows unbiased recommendations based on facial geometry, lifestyle requirements, and optical needs. Digital imaging technology assists with frame selection while our experienced advisors provide professional fitting guidance to ensure both visual and aesthetic satisfaction.
Contact Lenses
Specialist contact lens fittings include soft disposable, toric, and silicone hydrogel options for various visual requirements. Our protocol ensures proper adaptation through comprehensive trial periods and follow-up assessments. We provide ongoing support for extended wear, sports applications, and astigmatism correction while maintaining strict hygiene and safety standards for all lens types.
Sports Eyewear
Custom sports eyewear solutions include impact-resistant frames and adaptive lenses for activities like squash, football, and water sports. We offer Evil Eye's Vario technology lenses that transition from clear to dark with UV exposure. Goggles and masks with prescription options are available for swimming and diving, ensuring both visual clarity and safety in active environments.
Sunglasses
Premium prescription and non-prescription sunglasses include Maui Jim's polarising technology that eliminates glare while enhancing colour perception. Our collection features adaptive lenses with UV400 protection and specialist tints for specific sports applications.
