Services
Eye Examination
Our Enhanced and Ultimate Eye Exams use Optomap and OCT technology to detect eye diseases early. The process includes vision testing, prescription checks, and comprehensive eye health assessments. Suitable for all ages, with NHS eligibility options available.
Optomap Scans
Optomap captures 82% of the retina, enabling early detection of conditions like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Recommended for all patients during eye exams, with a 12 charge for children.
OCT Imaging
OCT creates detailed retinal cross-sections to diagnose glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Included in Ultimate Eye Exams, it allows monitoring of eye health over time.
Same Day Glasses
Our on-site lab produces single-vision glasses within hours. We offer lifetime adjustments and most repairs while you wait, ensuring immediate vision correction solutions.
Myopia Management
We provide specialized glasses and contact lenses to slow myopia progression in children. Early intervention helps protect long-term eye health through tailored treatment plans.
