Services
Eye examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations use advanced optical technology to assess vision quality and detect ocular health issues. The process includes digital retinal photography, 3D OCT scans, and visual field screening to identify potential health concerns. Each examination considers the patient's medical history, lifestyle requirements, and visual needs to provide tailored recommendations for vision correction and eye health maintenance.
Contact lenses
We offer specialist contact lens fittings for all prescription types including astigmatic, bifocal, and varifocal requirements. Our optometrists provide guidance on daily wear, extended wear, and specialist lenses suited to individual lifestyles. The service includes comprehensive eye measurements and ongoing support to ensure optimal comfort and visual clarity while maintaining ocular health through regular follow-up assessments.
Designer frames
Our extensive collection features premium designer brands and practical eyewear options for all ages. Expert dispensing opticians assist with frame selection based on facial features, prescription requirements, and lifestyle needs. We offer rimless, half-rim, and full-rim designs in various materials including titanium and acetate, ensuring both visual correction and style-conscious choices remain accessible through competitive pricing options.
OCT scans
Optical Coherence Tomography provides detailed cross-sectional images of eye structures to detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. This non-invasive scan creates high-resolution 3D maps of retinal layers and optic nerve health, enabling precise monitoring of ocular changes over time. Available at our Ross-on-Wye branch, OCT technology enhances our diagnostic capabilities beyond traditional examination methods.
Retinal photography
Digital retinal photography captures detailed images of the eye's posterior structures to monitor health changes and detect systemic conditions. This technology aids in identifying diabetes-related retinopathy, hypertension effects, and age-related macular changes through comparative analysis across visits. The painless procedure supports early intervention strategies and facilitates specialist referrals when required, maintaining comprehensive patient care standards.

Report
This was the most stress free eye test I have ever had. The optician was kindness itself, seemed to understand intuitively where I was coming from in the issues I raised. In deciding on frames, again he understood what I wanted with no difficulty. Finally, I was stunned by their superb prices! Not the eye watering costs I had to fork out at a previous local optician.
