Services
Advanced Eye Examination
Our advanced eye examinations use cutting-edge technology to assess both vision and eye health. These comprehensive assessments detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration through detailed retinal imaging and OCT scans. Lasting approximately 45 minutes, the examination includes lifestyle and medical history review alongside digital analysis of retinal layers, providing immediate results and potential specialist referrals.
Dry Eye Assessments
Specialized dry eye assessments diagnose tear film imbalances causing discomfort. Our opticians evaluate meibomian gland function and recommend management programs including eye drops, warm compresses, and eyelid hygiene routines. This service addresses symptoms like redness, irritation, and excessive tearing through personalized treatment plans tailored to individual causes and severity levels.
OCT Scan
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scans provide 3D imaging of retinal layers for early detection of sight-threatening conditions. This non-invasive procedure captures 50,000 images per second to identify macular degeneration, glaucoma, and retinal detachments. The instant results enable immediate discussion of findings and potential specialist referrals for timely intervention.
Express Glasses Service
Our on-site laboratories in London Street and Leeds enable rapid spectacle production. Single vision lenses can be ready within an hour, while Hoya's 48-hour express service covers many varifocal options. This service combines state-of-the-art glazing technology with expert repairs to minimize waiting times for both new prescriptions and emergency repairs.
Myopia Control
Specialized myopia control programs use MiSight 1-day contact lenses to slow short-sightedness progression in children by up to 59%. This service includes comprehensive assessments, trial periods, and follow-up appointments to monitor effectiveness. The program addresses environmental and genetic factors contributing to childhood myopia through evidence-based optical interventions.
