Services
Eye Tests
We offer comprehensive private and NHS eye tests for adults and children. Our exams utilise advanced technology to assess vision and detect early signs of eye disease. Patients receive detailed explanations of results and tailored recommendations for corrective lenses or further care.
Contact Lenses
We fit all contact lens types, including soft, gas permeable, toric, and multifocal lenses. Our optometrists ensure optimal comfort and vision correction through precise measurements and follow-up adjustments. We also provide guidance on hygiene and lens care.
Retinal Imaging
Retinal imaging captures detailed images of the eye's back to monitor health and detect conditions like glaucoma or macular degeneration. This service is included in private eye tests and available for an additional fee with NHS tests, ensuring early intervention when needed.
Dry Eye Consultations
Our specialists diagnose and manage dry eye syndrome using advanced tests and treatments. We offer tailored solutions, including artificial tears, lifestyle adjustments, and therapies for blepharitis or meibomian gland dysfunction, to alleviate discomfort and improve eye health.
Myopia Management
We provide evidence-based myopia management for children, including specialised contact lenses that slow progression by up to 72%. Our approach combines clinical expertise with lifestyle advice to reduce long-term risks of high myopia and preserve vision.
