Services
Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations assess both vision correction needs and ocular health. Using advanced diagnostic equipment, we detect early signs of eye conditions while determining optimal spectacle or contact lens prescriptions. Patients receive detailed explanations of their eye health status and any recommended treatments.
Contact Lenses
We offer specialist contact lens fittings for all prescriptions, including astigmatism and multifocal lenses. Our dedicated contact lens centre provides trial lenses, aftercare appointments, and the latest MiSight technology for myopia control in children.
Hearing Care
Our audiology services include hearing assessments, ear wax removal, and hearing aid provision. Certified audiologist Jason Searle conducts thorough evaluations and recommends appropriate solutions for age-related or noise-induced hearing loss.
Dry Eye Assessments
We diagnose and manage dry eye conditions through specialist assessments. Our opticians recommend tailored treatments including lubricating drops, lid hygiene routines, and environmental adaptations to improve ocular comfort.
Children's Eyecare
We provide comprehensive eye examinations for children, including spectacle fittings and vision development assessments. Our family eyecare plan covers children's eye exams and single vision lenses for those under 19 in full-time education.
