Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations assess visual acuity, eye health, and general health indicators. Using advanced diagnostic equipment, we check peripheral vision, intraocular pressure, and retinal health while discussing patients' occupational and lifestyle visual requirements. The examination includes detailed explanations of findings and recommendations tailored to individual needs. We accommodate patients with existing prescriptions seeking updates or those requiring first-time assessments.
Contact Lens Fitting
We specialise in precision contact lens fittings for various prescriptions, including bifocal and astigmatic corrections. Our process involves corneal topography analysis, trial lens assessments, and comprehensive aftercare. We offer daily, monthly, and specialist lenses including gas permeable and corneal-scleral designs. Patients receive thorough training in lens handling and maintenance, with follow-up appointments to ensure optimal comfort and vision.
Eyewear Selection
Our private dispensing room offers curated eyewear collections selected for quality, comfort, and style. Experienced opticians guide patients through frame choices considering facial geometry, prescription requirements, and lifestyle needs. We stock premium brands and unique designs not found in high-street chains. The service includes frame adjustments, repairs, and expert advice on lens options for optimal visual performance.
Home Visits
Our domiciliary service brings comprehensive eyecare to patients' homes with portable diagnostic equipment. We conduct thorough eye examinations, update prescriptions, and provide eyewear selections from our mobile frame collection. The service includes lens replacements and frame adjustments for existing glasses.
