Services
3D Retinal Scanning
Our 3D OCT scanner detects eye conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration up to five years earlier than standard exams. This non-invasive technology creates detailed cross-sectional images of the retina, enabling precise monitoring of eye health. Ideal for patients seeking proactive care and early intervention.
Ortho-K Lenses
Ortho-K lenses are custom contact lenses worn overnight to temporarily reshape the cornea, eliminating the need for glasses or contacts during the day. They are particularly effective for myopia control in children and offer a non-surgical alternative to laser eye surgery.
Children's Eye Care
We provide child-friendly eye exams and free NHS glasses for children. Our specialists assess visual development, screen for conditions like amblyopia, and offer guidance on maintaining healthy vision. Early detection ensures optimal learning and developmental outcomes.
Designer Eyewear
Our practice offers a wide range of high-quality designer frames, including Ted Baker and Ray-Ban, tailored to individual prescriptions and facial features. A qualified dispensing optician ensures perfect fit and comfort, with options for varifocals, sports eyewear, and UV-protective sunglasses.
Contact Lens Fitting
We provide comprehensive contact lens consultations, including daily disposables, multifocal, and toric lenses for astigmatism. Our independent practice offers the latest materials like silicone hydrogel for enhanced oxygen permeability, ensuring comfort and eye health for all wearers.
