Services
Acute Eyecare
We provide urgent treatment for sudden vision problems, painful eyes, or retinal symptoms using hospital-grade diagnostic equipment. Our optometrists can manage many acute conditions in-house while maintaining direct referral pathways to hospital eye clinics when needed. This service ensures timely intervention for critical eye health issues.
Childrens Eyecare
Specialised eye examinations for children from age four using age-appropriate diagnostic techniques. We detect and manage developmental vision problems that could impact learning, offering NHS-funded spectacles and durable children's eyewear solutions. Early intervention helps prevent long-term visual impairment and educational difficulties.
Glaucoma Management
Advanced glaucoma screening and ongoing management using hospital-equivalent OCT scans and intraocular pressure testing. As part of a Scottish Government initiative, we provide community-based care for diagnosed patients, reducing hospital appointment pressure while maintaining specialist-level monitoring standards.
Ortho-K
Nocturnal vision correction using custom-designed contact lenses that reshape the cornea during sleep. This non-surgical solution offers daytime freedom from glasses or contacts, particularly beneficial for sports enthusiasts and those with dry eye conditions, with proven effectiveness in slowing myopia progression.
Visual Stress Assessment
Specialist evaluation for print movement symptoms and light sensitivity using intuitive colorimetry technology. We identify and treat Meares-Irlen syndrome through precision tinted lenses, particularly beneficial for dyslexic individuals, improving reading comfort and comprehension through individually tailored visual solutions.
