Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye exams use the latest technology to assess visual acuity, detect eye diseases, and monitor general health indicators. We provide tailored advice on maintaining optimal eye health and prescribe corrective solutions. The service includes specialist assessments for children and older adults.
3D OCT Scans
This advanced imaging technology captures detailed retinal scans to identify early signs of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. The non-invasive procedure takes seconds and is recommended for patients over 40 or with family histories of eye diseases.
Children's Eye Care
We specialise in detecting and treating vision problems in children under eight, including lazy eye. Early intervention ensures developmental issues are addressed promptly. The service includes school-age vision screening and specialist follow-up care.
Low Vision Aids
For patients with irreversible vision loss, we provide magnifiers and lighting solutions to aid daily tasks. Our assessments focus on maximising remaining vision through tailored devices and adaptive techniques for improved quality of life.
Visual Stress Solutions
We address Meares-Irlen syndrome symptoms using coloured overlays and glasses to reduce reading discomfort. The service includes diagnostic testing and customised solutions to alleviate visual stress caused by text background contrasts.
