Services
Eye Examination
Our comprehensive eye examinations use digital retinal imaging and OCT scanning to assess vision correction needs and detect eye diseases. Each 40-minute appointment includes intraocular pressure measurement, peripheral vision testing, and binocular assessment. We tailor examinations to individual needs, providing detailed explanations of results and recommendations for spectacle or contact lens prescriptions.
Children's Eyecare
Specialized eye care for children under 16 with computerized picture charts and age-appropriate testing methods. We offer NHS-funded examinations and spectacles with durable frames featuring sprung hinges and soft nose pads. Our optometrists identify visual development issues that could impact learning and recommend interventions for conditions like strabismus and amblyopia.
OCT Scans
Advanced 3D OCT scanning provides cross-sectional views of retinal layers to detect early signs of macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma. This non-invasive test creates an ongoing health record and enables precise monitoring of eye conditions. Our swept-source OCT machines offer detailed imaging comparable to hospital-grade equipment.
Diabetic Screening
NHS diabetic eye screening program with digital retinal photography and pupil dilation for comprehensive assessment. Our qualified optometrists detect early signs of diabetic retinopathy and provide detailed reports to GPs. Patients receive specialist guidance on managing diabetes-related eye health and preventing vision complications.
Hearing Care
Comprehensive hearing assessments with tympanometry and pure tone audiometry conducted by qualified audiologists. We offer free hearing tests, hearing aid fittings with 0% interest payment plans, microsuction ear wax removal, and tinnitus management. Custom hearing protection solutions are available for occupational and recreational needs.
