Services
Eye Examination
Our comprehensive eye exams use advanced technology to assess vision correction needs and detect early signs of diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration. We allocate 30 minutes per appointment to ensure thorough analysis and patient education. Tailored to individual requirements, these exams include NHS-compliant diabetic screening and specialist assessments for children and adults.
Contact Lenses
We offer custom contact lens fittings for daily disposables, toric lenses, and varifocals, using modern materials for comfort and oxygen permeability. Our optometrists specialise in correcting astigmatism and presbyopia, with options for all prescriptions. Monthly payment schemes include free replacements and solutions, ensuring accessible, long-term eye care solutions.
Children's Eyecare
Specialist services for children include precision tinted filters via Intuitive Colorimeter to aid reading difficulties and dyslexia. Our team conducts thorough assessments tailored to young patients, ensuring early detection of visual development issues. We provide child-friendly environments and guidance for parents on maintaining ocular health during formative years.
OCT Retinal Imaging
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) creates detailed retinal cross-sections to diagnose conditions like diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. This non-invasive imaging allows early intervention for sight-threatening diseases. Integrated into comprehensive exams, it enhances diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning for long-term eye health.

We provide domiciliary eye examinations for patients unable to visit our practices, ensuring accessibility for elderly or mobility-impaired individuals. Services include full sight tests, prescription updates, and ocular health assessments conducted in the comfort of patients' homes, maintaining the same clinical standards as in-practice visits.
