Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations assess visual acuity, detect refractive errors, and screen for conditions like glaucoma and diabetic eye disease. Using advanced diagnostic tools, we ensure accurate prescriptions and early identification of ocular health risks. Suitable for all ages, including children and seniors requiring NHS-funded checks.
NHS Eye Exams
We provide NHS-funded eye examinations for eligible patients, including those under 16, over 60, or with specific medical conditions. These tests cover vision correction, glaucoma screening, and advice on managing eye health. Our team ensures seamless access to subsidised care for qualifying individuals.
Children's Sight Tests
Specialised sight tests for children under 16, focusing on visual development, squint detection, and early intervention for conditions like amblyopia. We use child-friendly techniques to ensure accurate results and offer guidance for parents on maintaining ocular health in young patients.
Vision Training
Vision training addresses issues like convergence insufficiency, lazy eye, and double vision through targeted exercises. Our programmes improve eye coordination, focus, and visual processing skills, benefiting patients with learning-related visual challenges or post-injury recovery needs.
Low Vision Services
For patients with irreversible vision loss due to conditions like macular degeneration, we offer low vision assessments and adaptive devices. Our services include magnifiers, lighting solutions, and training to maximise remaining vision and enhance daily living independence.
