Services
Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations utilise hospital-standard Zeiss OCT technology and Humphrey Field Screening. These tests detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma and diabetes while assessing visual acuity. The service includes prescription updates and digital eye strain assessments for VDU users.
Eyewear Sales
We offer Scotland's largest eyewear selection with over 5,000 frames. Our collection includes luxury brands like Chanel and Ray-Ban alongside niche designers. The service covers all price ranges from entry-level options to premium eyewear with specialist coatings.
OCT Scans
Our Zeiss OCT scanner provides 3D retinal imaging for early detection of eye diseases. This non-invasive test takes minutes and forms part of our free eye examination service. It's particularly valuable for monitoring age-related changes and chronic conditions.
Lens Services
We provide lenses from leading manufacturers including Zeiss and Essilor. Our services cover varifocal, blue light protection, and thin high-index lenses. The in-house lab offers precision fitting and express 2-hour replacement services for many prescriptions.
Corporate Eyewear Vouchers
We accept Edenred eyecare vouchers for work-related eyewear. This service helps employees obtain glasses specifically for VDU use, covering digital eye strain solutions and occupational safety eyewear. Vouchers range from 10 to 75 denominations.
