Eye Tests
Our comprehensive eye tests assess vision quality and eye health using advanced diagnostic technology. We check binocular vision, blood vessels, and peripheral vision while screening for conditions like glaucoma. The tests include 3D vision assessment and are suitable for all ages, from children to seniors. Our experienced opticians provide detailed explanations of results and recommendations.
Spectacle Repairs
We offer on-site spectacle repairs with a one-hour service at both our Hoo and Herne Bay clinics. Our technicians handle frame adjustments, lens replacements, nose pad repairs, and arm replacements. We can glaze simple prescriptions (-6 to +6.00) within the hour while complex lenses require ordering. Our repair service maintains the integrity of your existing glasses.

Our extensive collection includes designer glasses from brands like Ray-Ban and Ted Baker alongside affordable options. We stock children's frames, sports glasses, prescription swimming goggles, and safety eyewear.
