Services
Eye Examination
Our comprehensive eye examinations in Kent utilise advanced OCT and Optomap technology to assess vision and detect early signs of eye disease. The process includes detailed analysis of visual acuity, eye health, and prescription accuracy. Patients receive expert advice on corrective lenses and ongoing eye care tailored to their lifestyle and medical needs.
Ortho-K
Orthokeratology (Ortho-K) involves wearing custom rigid contact lenses overnight to temporarily reshape the cornea, reducing myopia. This non-surgical solution is ideal for children and adults seeking freedom from daytime glasses or contacts. We provide precise fitting and follow-up care to ensure optimal results and eye health.
Designer Glasses
We stock premium designer glasses from brands like Lindberg and Oliver Peoples, offering diverse styles, materials, and colours. Our dispensing opticians help clients select frames that complement their facial features, vision needs, and lifestyle, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and functional excellence for everyday wear.
Contact Lenses
Our contact lens services include fittings, prescriptions, and specialist options like Ortho-K and daily wear lenses. We provide guidance on lens care, suitability for eye health, and comfort, ensuring patients receive the most appropriate vision correction solution tailored to their daily activities and ocular requirements.
Advanced OCT Scan
Our Optomap ultra-widefield retinal imaging and OCT scans offer detailed 3D images of the retina to detect conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. These non-invasive scans provide early diagnosis and peace of mind, forming part of our commitment to preventative eye care.
