Services
Free Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations ensure precise vision correction while detecting early signs of eye conditions like glaucoma and cataracts. These tests are vital for maintaining long-term eye health and identifying systemic issues such as diabetes. Patients of all ages benefit from our thorough, NHS-funded assessments conducted by experienced optometrists.
Home Visits
We provide free home visits for housebound patients, ensuring accessible eyecare without the need for travel. Our team brings portable diagnostic equipment to assess vision needs and prescribe appropriate solutions. This service caters to elderly or mobility-restricted individuals, maintaining their comfort and dignity during examinations.
Children's Eyecare
Specialist children's eyecare includes early detection of vision problems that could impact development and education. We recommend pre-school eye tests to address issues like lazy eye or focusing difficulties. Our child-friendly approach ensures young patients feel comfortable while receiving tailored advice for healthy visual growth.
Contact Lens Fitting
Experienced contact lens practitioners offer fittings for various lens types, including daily disposables and specialist designs. We provide free one-month trials to ensure comfort and suitability, with ongoing support for proper hygiene and replacement schedules. Our service caters to both new and experienced wearers seeking alternatives to glasses.
Glaucoma Screening
Advanced glaucoma screening uses retinal photography and intraocular pressure measurements to detect early-stage optic nerve damage. Regular monitoring helps prevent vision loss through timely intervention. This service is particularly recommended for patients over 40 or with family histories of eye diseases.
