Services
Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations combine traditional techniques with advanced technology like OCT scanning. Patients receive either NHS-funded basic assessments or private enhanced exams that include retinal imaging and biometric measurements. The 40-minute private examination evaluates eye health, visual acuity, and potential pathologies through state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment.
Myopia Management
Specialised programme for slowing childhood myopia progression using MiYOSMART spectacle lenses and MiSight contact lenses. These technologies employ defocus optics to reduce axial elongation of the eye. Early intervention is recommended, with regular monitoring to track effectiveness and adjust treatment as required.
Contact Lenses
Full contact lens service including fitting, aftercare, and specialist solutions. We offer daily disposables, toric lenses, multifocals, and myopia management options. Our opticians provide comprehensive training for children and adults, with follow-up appointments to ensure ocular health and lens performance.
Spectacles
Premium spectacle provision featuring designer frames and Rodenstock lenses with biometric personalisation. The DNeye scanner creates customised lenses based on individual eye anatomy, enhancing visual clarity. We offer anti-reflective coatings with warranty protection and a wide selection of styles for all ages.
Dry Eye Treatment
Specialised management for chronic dry eye conditions using Blephex technology. This in-practice procedure removes lid margin biofilm and debris, followed by home maintenance routines. The treatment addresses symptoms like grittiness and excessive tearing through mechanical exfoliation and improved tear production.
