Services
Eye Tests
Our comprehensive eye examinations use advanced diagnostic technology to assess vision quality and eye health. Conducted by qualified optometrists, these tests identify potential issues like glaucoma while ensuring accurate prescriptions. Patients receive detailed explanations of their results and recommendations for corrective measures.
Contact Lens Fitting
We offer professional contact lens fittings with ongoing support for optimal comfort and vision correction. Our opticians help patients select from various lens types including bifocal, varifocal, and coloured options. Follow-up appointments ensure proper adaptation and address any concerns about lens maintenance.
Glaucoma Testing
Specialised glaucoma screening involves measuring intraocular pressure and examining optic nerve health. Early detection through these non-invasive tests helps prevent vision loss. Patients with family history or other risk factors receive priority monitoring and expert guidance on management options.
Frame Repairs
Our skilled technicians perform precise frame adjustments and repairs to extend eyewear lifespan. Services include hinge replacement, nosepad fitting, and metal frame straightening. We use specialist tools to restore functionality while maintaining the original design integrity of your glasses.
Designer Sunglasses
We stock an extensive range of designer sunglasses from leading brands, combining UV protection with fashion-forward designs. Our opticians help customers select frames that complement facial features while providing optimal visual comfort in various light conditions.
