Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations include glaucoma screening, OCT scans, and dyslexia assessments. Conducted by qualified optometrists, these tests detect ocular conditions and general health issues. The 40-minute appointments combine traditional techniques with advanced diagnostic technology to ensure accurate vision correction and early detection of eye diseases.
Contact Lenses
We offer specialist contact lens fittings including orthokeratology and MiSight myopia control lenses. Our services cover daily, monthly, and gas permeable lenses from leading brands. Patients receive detailed aftercare guidance and troubleshooting support to ensure comfortable lens use and proper hygiene practices for long-term eye health.
Designer Glasses
Our practice stocks premium designer frames from brands like RayBan, Prada, and Tiffany & Co. We provide expert dispensing advice to help customers select appropriate frames and lenses. The collection includes children's eyewear and specialist lenses with anti-reflective coatings, ensuring both style and optical performance tailored to individual visual needs.
Orthokeratology
This non-surgical myopia management treatment uses specially designed contact lenses worn overnight. The lenses gently reshape the cornea to correct vision during waking hours. Ideal for children and active adults, this alternative to laser surgery requires careful fitting and regular monitoring by our specialist optometrists to ensure safe and effective results.
Home Visits
We provide home eye examinations for patients unable to visit the practice. Our mobile service includes comprehensive sight tests, prescription updates, and eyewear selection assistance. Fully equipped to perform NHS and private assessments, we bring a wide frame selection and can coordinate follow-up care with local healthcare providers for continued patient support.
