Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations use advanced technology to assess vision quality and detect ocular conditions. The process includes intraocular pressure testing, visual field analysis, and ophthalmoscopy to evaluate eye health. Our optometrists provide detailed explanations of test results and personalized recommendations for vision correction or further care.
Prescription Glasses
We offer a wide selection of prescription glasses tailored to individual needs and lifestyles. Our experienced team assists with frame selection, lens customization, and proper fitting. The range includes designer brands, children's styles, and specialist lenses for sports or occupational requirements, all with expert aftercare adjustments.
Retinal Photography
This diagnostic service captures detailed images of the eye's interior to detect early signs of conditions like diabetes, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. The non-invasive procedure provides permanent records for monitoring eye health changes over time, enabling early intervention when necessary.
Children's Eye Care
Specialized eye examinations for children use age-appropriate techniques to assess vision development. We provide guidance on school vision requirements, sports eyewear, and managing childhood eye conditions. The service includes NHS-funded tests for under-16s and frame fitting for growing children.
Contact Lenses
Our contact lens service includes fitting, aftercare, and supply of various lens types. We offer daily disposables, extended wear options, and specialist lenses for complex prescriptions. The team provides comprehensive training on insertion, removal, and proper lens hygiene practices.
