Eye Tests
Our comprehensive eye tests include standard vision assessments and advanced ocular health checks. Using modern diagnostic equipment, we detect vision problems and potential eye diseases while providing expert advice on corrective solutions tailored to individual needs.
OCT Exams
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) creates detailed retinal images for early detection of eye conditions. This non-invasive scan helps identify issues like glaucoma and macular degeneration, enabling timely intervention and monitoring of eye health changes over time.
Colourimetry Testing
Specialised testing for visual stress and reading difficulties using the Intuitive Colorimeter. We determine optimal coloured filter prescriptions to alleviate symptoms associated with Meares-Irlen syndrome, improving reading comfort and visual perception for both children and adults.
Home Visits
Private and NHS-funded eye examinations conducted at patients' homes. Our mobile service maintains professional standards while providing convenient access to eye care for those with mobility challenges, ensuring continuity of ocular health monitoring.
Designer Frames
Extensive range of designer spectacle frames from leading brands. Our styling experts provide professional advice on frame selection, combining aesthetic appeal with functional requirements to ensure optimal vision correction and facial compatibility.
