Eye Examinations
We provide comprehensive NHS and private eye examinations using advanced diagnostic technology. Our tests include retinal imaging, visual field assessments, and glaucoma screening to ensure complete eye health evaluation. Our qualified optometrists offer personalized advice on vision correction options tailored to individual needs.
Contact Lenses
Our specialist team offers contact lens fittings for all vision requirements, including daily disposables and reusable lenses. We provide trial periods, application training, and ongoing aftercare to ensure comfort and optimal vision correction for both new and experienced contact lens wearers.

With over 600 designer frames available, we help customers select eyewear that combines functionality with personal style. Our experts provide professional advice on frame styling and lens options to ensure both visual comfort and aesthetic satisfaction.
Retinal Imaging
We utilize OCT technology for 3D retinal imaging to detect early signs of eye conditions like macular degeneration. This non-invasive scan provides detailed images of eye structures, enabling accurate diagnosis and monitoring of ocular health over time.
Visual Field Tests
Our visual field assessments detect peripheral vision loss that may indicate glaucoma or other health issues. The test maps your complete field of vision, helping identify areas of visual loss that patients might not be consciously aware of.
