Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations use state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment to assess vision correction needs and ocular health. The 40-minute process includes OCT scanning, retinal photography, and intraocular pressure measurement. Our optometrists detect conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and systemic health issues while providing personalized vision correction advice.
OCT Scanning
Ocular Coherence Tomography provides 3D cross-sectional retinal images for early disease detection. This non-invasive scan reveals subsurface eye structures, aiding diagnosis of macular degeneration, glaucoma, and vascular conditions. The technology complements standard eye exams with detailed layer-by-layer retinal analysis.
Dry Eye Clinic
Specialist dry eye consultations use digital diagnostics to identify tear film abnormalities. We offer tailored treatments including advanced lubricants, lid hygiene regimes, and environmental adaptations. Our clinic addresses symptoms like burning eyes, light sensitivity, and blurred vision through evidence-based interventions.
Designer Eyewear
We stock over 20 luxury eyewear brands including Cartier, Gucci, and Ray-Ban. Our collection features contemporary and classic designs with customization options. Expert frame selection assistance ensures optimal fit and style while maintaining technical compatibility with individual vision correction requirements.
Varifocal Lenses
