Services
Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations assess both vision correction needs and ocular health using modern diagnostic equipment. Qualified optometrists conduct detailed assessments to detect conditions like glaucoma, diabetes-related eye changes, and age-related macular degeneration. Patients receive clear explanations of findings and tailored recommendations for corrective measures or further monitoring.
Contact Lenses
We offer customised contact lens solutions including daily disposables, extended wear options, and specialist lenses for astigmatism or presbyopia. Our opticians provide fitting services and ongoing support to ensure comfort and optimal visual performance while maintaining eye health.
Night Lenses
Orthokeratology lenses reshape the cornea overnight to correct myopia without daytime lenses or surgery. This non-invasive treatment provides clear vision throughout the day by gently reshaping the eye's surface during sleep, requiring nightly repetition for sustained results.
Myopia Management
Our programme addresses progressive myopia through evidence-based treatments including orthokeratology, MiSight contact lenses, and DIMS spectacle technology. These interventions aim to slow myopia progression in children, reducing long-term risks of associated eye conditions through regular monitoring and tailored interventions.
Spectacle Frames
We provide an extensive range of designer and traditional spectacle frames from brands like Ray-Ban, Oliver Peoples, and Rodenstock. Professional style consultations help clients select frames that complement facial features and lifestyle needs, with expert guidance on lens options for optimal vision and comfort.
