Advanced Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations use the latest technology including Optomap retinal imaging and 3D OCT scans to assess eye health and vision quality. The 45-minute appointments allow thorough assessment of ocular health, prescription accuracy, and early detection of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Patients receive detailed explanations of results and personalised recommendations for corrective solutions.
Myopia Management
Specialised programs for slowing childhood myopia progression using HOYA MiYOSMART lenses, MiSight contact lenses, and Ortho-K overnight reshaping lenses. Each treatment plan includes regular monitoring appointments and customised lens prescriptions. Clinical studies show these methods can reduce myopia progression by up to 60% when started early.
Contact Lens Fittings
Expert fitting services for all contact lens types including daily disposables, multifocal lenses, and Ortho-K overnight wear. The process includes comprehensive eye assessments, trial fittings, and complete care instruction packages. We specialise in solving complex fitting requirements and offer ongoing aftercare support through our Lensplan subscription service.
Dry Eye Clinic
Specialist dry eye assessments using advanced diagnostic tools to determine underlying causes. Treatment plans may include ZEST eyelid therapy, prescription eye drops, and lifestyle modification advice. The clinic offers both one-time treatments and ongoing management programs through MyVisionPlus membership, with follow-up appointments included in care plans.
Lens Technology
Premium lens solutions including Hoya EnRoute driving lenses, BlueControl coatings for digital eye strain, and custom varifocal options. Our dispensing team provides expert guidance on lens material selection, anti-reflective coatings, and adaptive technology for different visual demands, ensuring optimal comfort and clarity for each patient's lifestyle.
