Patients with certain conditions require more specialist treatment and careful monitoring of the condition of their eyes.
Those diagnosed with diabetes or glaucoma, and other ocular conditions are welcome to visit our facilities where our expert optometrists will take you through all aspects of prevention, treatment and care.
If you have been diagnosed as diabetic you will need a yearly screening to detect any changes in your sight.
We take a digital photograph of the back of your eye in order to detect any diabetic related changes.

The health of your eyes matters to you and it matters to us too, which is why we are offering OCT to all our patients.
3D OCT screening diagnoses potentially serious conditions that can affect your eyesight and your overall well-being.
OCT (Ocular Coherence Tomography) is an advanced eye scan for people of all ages.
Similar to ultrasound, OCT uses light rather than sound waves to illustrate the different layers that make up the back of your eye.
The OCT machine captures both a fundus photograph and a cross-sectional scan of the back of the eye at the same time, the scientific stuff!
