Eye Examinations
We provide comprehensive NHS and private eye examinations using advanced diagnostic technology. Our optometrists assess visual acuity, eye health, and potential vision problems. The examination includes expert analysis of retinal health using OCT scanning technology, with detailed explanations of results and recommendations.
ZEISS Lenses
As a ZEISS Centre of Excellence, we offer precision-engineered lenses with superior optical quality. Our ZEISS lenses provide enhanced clarity across entire lens surfaces, with options for progressive, single vision, and lifestyle-specific designs. We ensure perfect frame-lens matching for optimal visual performance.
Nikon Lenses
We supply Nikon Lenswear products designed in Japan and manufactured in the UK. These lenses combine high-precision optics with eco-friendly production methods. Our range includes progressive, single vision, and eLife Pro lenses with advanced coatings for various lifestyle needs.
Retinal Scanning
Our optometrists use Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) for detailed retinal analysis. This non-invasive scan detects early signs of conditions like macular degeneration and glaucoma. The technology creates cross-sectional images of retinal layers for accurate diagnosis and monitoring.

We specialise in child-friendly eye examinations for young patients. Our optometrists use age-appropriate techniques to assess visual development and detect potential issues. The service includes thorough checks for focusing problems and binocular vision disorders that could affect learning.
