Services
Eye Examination
Our comprehensive eye examinations use advanced diagnostic equipment, including digital retinal imaging, to assess both vision and ocular health. The process involves detailed symptom review, medical history analysis, and internal/external eye evaluations to detect conditions like glaucoma or diabetes-related complications. Patients receive clear explanations of results and tailored recommendations for corrective lenses or further treatment.
Prescription Glasses
We offer a wide selection of prescription glasses, from budget-friendly options to designer frames, with lenses tailored to individual needs. Services include single vision, bifocal, and varifocal lenses, along with anti-reflective coatings and light-sensitive options. Our experts guide clients in choosing frames that suit their facial structure, lifestyle, and prescription requirements.
Contact Lenses
Our contact lens services include fittings for soft, silicone hydrogel, and gas permeable lenses, including options for astigmatism and bifocals. We provide daily disposables, extended wear lenses, and coloured contacts, along with aftercare guidance for proper cleaning and maintenance. Patients receive training on insertion, removal, and hygiene practices.
Domiciliary Service
We provide home eye examinations for clients unable to visit our practice, using portable diagnostic equipment to assess vision and eye health. The service includes frame selection, lens fitting, and delivery of completed spectacles directly to the client's home. This ensures accessibility for elderly or mobility-impaired individuals while maintaining professional standards.
NHS Funded Eye Care
Eligible patients can access free NHS eye examinations and optical vouchers for frames or lenses. We assist clients in determining their entitlement based on age, medical conditions, or benefits status. The service includes full explanations of voucher usage and help selecting eyewear within NHS funding parameters.
