Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations utilise advanced diagnostic technology to assess visual acuity and ocular health. Each 30-minute appointment includes retinal imaging, intraocular pressure measurement, and binocular vision assessment. Our optometrists provide detailed explanations of findings and recommend tailored vision correction solutions.
Contact Lens Fitting
We specialise in precision contact lens fittings for various prescriptions, including toric and multifocal lenses. Our process includes trial wear assessment and follow-up evaluations to ensure optimal comfort. Patients receive comprehensive instruction on proper lens care and maintenance routines.
Optomap Retinal Imaging
This ultra-widefield retinal imaging technology captures 82% of the retina in a single scan. The non-invasive procedure detects early signs of ocular diseases like diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration. Images are stored for comparative analysis during future examinations.
Dry Eye Clinic
Our dry eye clinic addresses symptoms through advanced diagnostic techniques and tailored treatment plans. Services include tear film analysis, lid margin evaluation, and thermal imaging. Treatment options range from lubricant therapy to punctal plug insertion for severe cases.
OCT 3D Scanning
This non-invasive imaging technology provides cross-sectional views of retinal layers with micrometer precision. The scan detects subtle changes in macular thickness and optic nerve structure. Results aid in diagnosing and monitoring glaucoma, diabetic macular oedema, and age-related macular degeneration.
