Services
Enhanced Eye Exam
Our enhanced eye exams use state-of-the-art technology to thoroughly assess ocular health and vision quality. The 55-minute examination includes OCT scanning, visual field testing, and detailed retinal imaging. This comprehensive approach enables early detection of eye diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration while ensuring accurate prescriptions for glasses or contact lenses.
Children's Eyecare
Specialised eye care for children from age 3 upwards, including developmental vision assessments and myopia management. Our child-friendly exams use picture charts and interactive techniques to evaluate visual development. We offer corrective solutions like Roald Dahl frames and MiYOSMART lenses that slow myopia progression, with NHS coverage available for under-16s.
Frame Styling Service
Personalised frame selection assistance based on facial geometry, lifestyle needs, and style preferences. Our qualified opticians provide expert guidance on material choices, colour coordination, and lens requirements. The service includes trying multiple options with professional feedback to ensure optimal fit and visual performance while considering budget requirements.
Myopia Management
Specialist treatment programmes to slow progression of childhood myopia using MiYOSMART lenses and MiSight contact lenses. These solutions reduce eye elongation through defocus technology, lowering future risks of high myopia complications. The service includes regular monitoring and outdoor activity recommendations to complement optical interventions.
OCT Scan
Advanced 3D retinal scanning using Optopol Revo technology to detect early signs of eye disease. The non-invasive scan creates detailed cross-sectional images of retinal layers, enabling precise diagnosis of conditions like diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma. Recommended for patients over 40 or those with existing eye health concerns.

Thank you to Alastair and the lovely ladies for being so nice and kind to my Dad this morning. It was his first time there and he enjoyed his visit. I will definitely be changing my opticians too.
