We use the latest diagnostic equipment to examine your entire visual system and to record any changes over time.
We use both Optomap ultra-widefield imaging which allows us to see over 80% of your retina (traditional imaging techniques only record 20% of the back of the eye) and OCT technology, which allows us to see under the retinal surface.
A comprehensive eye examination can do much more than check on how well you see.
It can give valuable insight into the health of your eyes, as well as issues which affect other parts of the body.

We have recently invested in the latest Optomap technology, which allows us to offer our patients a more comprehensive eye examination.
While conventional imaging technologies are often able to scan about 15% of your retina at a time, with the Optomap it is possible to scan in a 200 degree arc, capturing approximately 80% of your retina in one panoramic scan.
This scan will offer an extremely comprehensive depiction of your eye that will provide a useful picture of your general eye health.
Vision Aid Overseas has ended its recycling scheme in the UK and will no longer accept used spectacles from the public, opticians, and community groups.
