Services
Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations use the latest diagnostic technology to assess visual acuity and eye health. The process includes detailed retinal imaging and intraocular pressure measurement. Patients receive personalised recommendations for vision correction and ongoing eyecare needs.
OCT Retina Scans
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) provides 3D images of the retina for early detection of eye conditions. This non-invasive scan helps identify potential issues before symptoms appear. The technology creates detailed cross-sectional views of retinal layers for precise diagnosis.
Contact Lens Fitting
We offer comprehensive contact lens assessments including trial periods and aftercare. Our independent status allows access to specialist lenses from multiple manufacturers. Patients receive training on insertion, removal, and proper lens care techniques.
Children's Eye Exams
Specialised examinations for children using age-appropriate testing methods. We assess visual development and screen for common childhood eye conditions. The process includes guidance on managing screen time and visual ergonomics.
Myopia Control
We provide evidence-based interventions to slow myopia progression in children. Treatment options include specialist contact lenses and atropine therapy. Regular monitoring tracks effectiveness and adjusts interventions as needed.
