Services
Eye examination
Our comprehensive eye examinations use advanced technology to assess your vision and eye health. These tests check spectacle prescriptions, visual function, and potential eye conditions like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. The service includes detailed explanations of results and personalized eyewear recommendations based on lifestyle needs.
OCT scan
OCT scanning provides detailed 3D images of the eye's internal structures to detect conditions such as macular degeneration and retinal detachment. This non-invasive test forms part of our standard eye examinations and helps identify health issues beyond vision problems, including hypertension and diabetes indicators.
Myopia control
Our myopia control program uses specialized lenses like Essilor Stellest to slow short-sightedness progression in children. The treatment includes regular monitoring and combines optical technology with lifestyle recommendations to reduce long-term eye health risks while maintaining clear vision through the child's developmental years.
Home eye tests
Professional eye examinations conducted at your residence for those with mobility challenges or health conditions. The service includes comprehensive testing with portable equipment, prescription updates, and eyewear recommendations. Available free of charge within a 3-mile radius of our Glasgow clinics.
Emergency glasses
Urgent replacement service for broken or lost glasses, available same-day for most prescriptions. Customers can WhatsApp their prescription details for eligibility checks and quotes. The service ensures continuity of vision correction during unexpected situations while maintaining optical safety standards.
