Services
Eye Examination
Our comprehensive eye examinations assess vision and eye health through multiple tests. We check for sight problems, eye diseases, and general health indicators. Patients receive detailed explanations of results and recommendations.
OCT Scan
Optical Coherence Tomography scans use low-powered light to examine retinal layers. This detects conditions like macular degeneration and glaucoma earlier than standard tests. The painless procedure requires no eye contact.
Hearing Test
Response Hearing provides free hearing assessments with no obligation. We offer digital hearing aids from multiple manufacturers and safe microsuction wax removal. Private appointments available for work-related hearing needs.
Contact Lenses
We fit standard and specialist contact lenses including multifocal and RGP types. Services include aftercare checks and emergency appointments. Independent providers offering multiple brand options.
Broken Glasses Repair
Professional repair service for all frame materials and brands. We fix broken lenses, loose screws, and warped frames. Emergency repairs available with no requirement to have purchased frames from us.
