Services
Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations assess both vision correction needs and ocular health. Using advanced diagnostic equipment, we detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. The 30-minute appointment includes digital retinal imaging and OCT scanning for detailed 3D eye analysis.
Contact Lenses
We offer specialist contact lens fittings for all prescriptions including astigmatism and varifocal needs. Our range includes daily disposables, night lenses, and rigid gas permeable options. Each fitting includes corneal topography mapping for perfect lens alignment and comfort.
Spectacle Frames
Our frame collection combines classic designs with contemporary styles from leading brands. As Zeiss Platinum Partners, we offer precision lenses with anti-reflective coatings and UV protection. All frames include NHS voucher eligibility where applicable.
OCT Scanning
Optical Coherence Tomography provides high-resolution 3D imaging of retinal layers and optic nerve. This non-invasive scan detects early signs of glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and age-related macular degeneration with 10-micron precision.
Ortho-K Lenses
Custom rigid contact lenses worn overnight to temporarily reshape the cornea. This non-surgical vision correction solution provides clear daytime vision without glasses or contacts, ideal for active individuals and myopia management in children.
