Services
Sight Tests
Our comprehensive eye examinations assess visual acuity and detect ocular pathologies using advanced diagnostic equipment. Qualified optometrists perform retinal imaging and visual field testing to identify conditions like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. Patients receive detailed explanations of their eye health status and corrective lens requirements during 30-45 minute appointments.
Contact Lenses
We specialise in fitting soft and rigid gas permeable contact lenses for astigmatism, presbyopia, and complex prescriptions. The process includes trial lenses, adaptation periods, and follow-up appointments to ensure optimal comfort and vision correction. Our stock includes daily disposables, extended wear options, and specialist sports vision lenses from leading manufacturers.
Children's Eyecare
Our child-friendly eye examinations detect developmental issues like amblyopia and strabismus. NHS-funded tests for under-16s include spectacle vouchers where required. We offer durable frames designed for active lifestyles and provide guidance on managing screen time and preventing myopia progression through lifestyle adjustments.
Diabetic Screening
As part of the NHS diabetic retinopathy screening programme, we use digital fundus photography to monitor diabetes-related eye changes. This service includes detailed retinal imaging and specialist referrals when necessary, helping prevent vision loss through early intervention and regular monitoring.
Designer Frames
Our optical collection features premium brands including Armani, Ray-Ban, and Michael Kors alongside budget-friendly options. Qualified dispensing opticians assist with frame selection based on facial geometry, prescription requirements, and lifestyle needs, ensuring both aesthetic appeal and functional performance in all spectacle prescriptions.
Questions
How often should I have an eye test?
We recommend biennial tests for most adults, with annual checks for diabetics, glaucoma suspects, or those experiencing vision changes.
Do you offer emergency eyecare services?
While we don't provide 24/7 emergency care, we prioritise urgent cases like sudden vision loss or eye injuries during our regular opening hours.
Are diabetic eye screenings available without referral?
As part of the NHS screening programme, we provide annual diabetic retinal photography without requiring prior referral from GPs.
Can I try glasses before purchasing?
We encourage frame trials in-store to assess fit and appearance, with options to take frames home temporarily for extended evaluation.
