Services
Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations last approximately 45 minutes, utilising state-of-the-art equipment to assess visual acuity and eye health. The consultations include detailed analysis of prescription requirements and early detection of ocular conditions. Patients receive thorough explanations of findings and recommendations for maintaining optimal visual health.
OCT Scanning
Optical Coherence Tomography provides 3D imaging of the retina to detect conditions like macular degeneration and glaucoma. The non-invasive scan creates detailed cross-sectional images, enabling early diagnosis and monitoring of ocular health changes over time. This technology enhances our preventive eye care capabilities.
Blephex Treatment
Blephex is a revolutionary treatment for blepharitis that removes bacterial debris and scurf from eyelids. The painless procedure uses medical-grade sponges to improve eyelid health, reducing symptoms like dryness and irritation. Regular treatments help maintain comfortable vision and prevent chronic eyelid conditions.
Dry Eye Assessments
Using advanced MYAH diagnostic equipment, we conduct comprehensive evaluations for dry eye disease. The assessment identifies specific causes of ocular discomfort and develops tailored treatment plans. Our approach combines modern technology with practical solutions for managing dry eye symptoms effectively.
Contact Lens Fittings
We offer specialist contact lens fittings with access to multiple suppliers for optimal solutions. Our optometrists provide thorough assessments to determine the most suitable lens types and materials. The service includes comprehensive aftercare and ongoing support for comfortable, safe contact lens wear.
