Services
Eye Examinations
Our advanced eye examinations use cutting-edge technology like OCT and Optos Optomap to detect eye diseases early. Each test lasts 40 minutes, allowing thorough discussion of findings. We cater to all ages and complex needs, including NHS and private clients.
Orthokeratology
Orthokeratology involves wearing custom contact lenses overnight to correct vision and slow myopia progression. Suitable for children aged six and above, this non-surgical method offers freedom from glasses during the day and reduces long-term eye health risks.
Keratoconus Management
We specialise in managing keratoconus using modern scleral lenses and Eye Surface Profile technology. These lenses provide comfort and clear vision by precisely fitting the eye's shape, offering tailored solutions for irregular corneas and post-surgical cases.
Dry Eye Management
Our dry eye assessments identify causes like environmental factors or medications. Tailored treatments, including specialist contact lenses and lifestyle adjustments, alleviate symptoms such as grittiness and redness, improving comfort and vision clarity for long-term relief.
Hearing Care
In partnership with Amplify Hearing, we offer free hearing tests, earwax removal, and hearing aid fittings. Our audiologist provides home visits and uses Beltone technology, ensuring personalised care for tinnitus management and improved auditory health.
