Services
Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations utilise advanced diagnostic equipment to assess visual acuity and detect ocular diseases. The 20-30 minute process identifies conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy while ensuring accurate prescription updates. Both NHS-funded and private options available.
Children's Eye Care
Specialised vision assessments for children from six months old identify developmental issues affecting learning and coordination. Our orthoptist employs picture-based testing methods to diagnose lazy eye conditions and recommends corrective treatments including patch therapy before age-related vision problems become irreversible.
Driving Vision Tests
We conduct DVLA-compliant visual field testing to ensure legal driving standards. Services include night vision enhancement with anti-reflective coatings, Estermann field assessments, and frame recommendations that maintain unobstructed peripheral vision for safer driving experiences.
Safety Spectacles
HSE-regulated safety spectacles protect against workplace hazards including chemical splashes and airborne particles. Our specialists dispense impact-resistant lenses meeting industry standards for construction, manufacturing, and laboratory environments where eye protection is critical.
Varifocal Lenses
Custom varifocal lenses provide seamless vision correction across multiple distances. We offer premium designs optimised for digital device use, outdoor activities, and driving requirements while minimising peripheral distortion for natural visual transitions.
Questions
How often should I have an eye examination?
We recommend biennial tests for most adults, with annual checks for those over 40 or experiencing vision changes. Children's tests follow developmental milestones as advised by our orthoptist.

Can you test children's vision?
Our specialist conducts paediatric assessments from six months old using age-appropriate techniques. Early detection prevents permanent vision development issues affecting learning abilities.
What driving vision requirements do you check?
We verify 20.5-metre number plate visibility, perform Estermann visual field tests, and recommend anti-reflective coatings to meet DVLA standards for safe driving.
Do you supply safety glasses for workplaces?
