Our comprehensive eye exams use advanced technology to assess vision and detect conditions like glaucoma. The 30-minute process includes OCT scans, retinal imaging, and personalised recommendations for glasses or contact lenses. Ideal for adults and children over 12 months, these exams ensure early intervention for long-term eye health.
Contact Lenses
We offer tailored contact lens solutions, including daily disposables, monthly lenses, and specialist toric options for astigmatism. Our optometrists provide precise fittings and aftercare advice. Overnight orthokeratology lenses are available for myopia correction without surgery, suitable for active individuals and children.
