Eye Examination
Our comprehensive eye examinations assess vision clarity and eye health using advanced diagnostic techniques. The 30-minute appointments include prescription determination, retinal screening, and intraocular pressure measurement. Patients receive detailed explanations of results and recommendations for corrective lenses or further treatment. The service caters to adults and children, with NHS-funded options available for eligible groups.
Contact Lens Fitting
Specialist contact lens fittings include trial periods and comprehensive aftercare. The process involves initial eye health assessments, lens type selection, and insertion/removal training. Patients benefit from ongoing support, solution provision, and replacement lens access. The service accommodates various vision correction needs, including astigmatism and presbyopia, with both disposable and extended wear options.
Children's Eye Care
We provide child-friendly eye examinations from infancy through adolescence. Our approach uses age-appropriate testing methods to detect vision problems that could affect learning and development. The service includes myopia progression monitoring and offers NHS-funded examinations for children under 16. Parents receive clear guidance on maintaining ocular health during screen time and outdoor activities.
Hearing Assessment
Our audiology services feature free initial hearing assessments and microsuction ear wax removal. Qualified professionals conduct comprehensive evaluations using digital audiometry, offering solutions for hearing loss and tinnitus. The practice provides custom hearing protection and collaborates with ENT specialists for complex cases, ensuring holistic auditory healthcare.
Dry Eye Clinic
Specialised dry eye consultations address symptoms like grittiness and redness through advanced diagnostics. Treatment plans may include lubricant prescriptions, lid hygiene routines, or environmental adaptations.
