Services
Eye Examination
We provide comprehensive eye examinations using advanced diagnostic equipment to assess vision and ocular health. Our opticians check for common conditions like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy while offering NHS and private options. Patients receive tailored advice on corrective lenses and ongoing eyecare needs.
Retinal Photography
This service captures detailed images of the retina to detect early signs of eye diseases. Using digital imaging, we monitor conditions like hypertension-related damage and age-related macular degeneration. The non-invasive process forms part of our preventative eyecare approach.
Contact Lens Assessment
Our specialists conduct thorough assessments to determine the most suitable contact lenses for individual prescriptions. The service includes trial periods, handling instruction, and follow-up appointments to ensure comfort and optimal vision correction for all lens types.
Sunglasses
We offer a curated selection of prescription and non-prescription sunglasses with UV protection. Our range includes polarised and photochromic lenses designed to enhance visual clarity while protecting against harmful UVA/UVB rays for all outdoor activities.
3D OCT Scan
This advanced imaging technology creates cross-sectional views of the retina for precise diagnosis of ocular conditions. The painless, non-contact scan helps detect early-stage eye diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration with exceptional accuracy.

Report
I wear hearing aids & was measured for my new glasses with them in. I paid 346.00 for my new glasses. I have been back twice as they fall down my nose. On the 2nd visit back i was asked if i need to wear my hearing aids all the time. I am now wearing my old glasses & looking for an optician to put my new prescription in them. At 71yrs old i can not afford the loss of 346.00
