Services
Orthokeratology
Orthokeratology uses custom contact lenses worn overnight to reshape the cornea, providing clear daytime vision without glasses. Ideal for myopia sufferers, this non-surgical treatment offers a reversible alternative to laser surgery. Our optometrists conduct detailed corneal mapping to design bespoke lenses, ensuring optimal fit and effectiveness for long-term vision improvement.
Keratoconus Treatment
We provide custom scleral lenses for keratoconus patients, creating a smooth optical surface to correct distorted vision. These lenses vault over the cornea, filled with fluid to eliminate irregularities. Our advanced diagnostic imaging ensures precise fitting, offering comfort and clarity where standard glasses or contacts fail, significantly improving quality of life for those with progressive corneal conditions.
Advanced Eye Exams
Our 45-minute eye examinations utilise OCT scanning and corneal topography to detect early signs of ocular diseases. This extended consultation time allows thorough discussion of patient concerns, detailed binocular assessment, and personalised recommendations. Early detection of conditions like glaucoma or macular degeneration ensures timely intervention and better long-term outcomes.
Frame Styling
Expert frame stylists help patients select glasses tailored to facial structure, lifestyle, and prescription needs. We offer extensive designer collections from brands like Wolf Eyewear and Etnia Barcelona, combining aesthetics with functionality. Personalised adjustments ensure comfort and durability, while our no-pressure approach focuses on finding the perfect fit rather than sales targets.
Hearing Care
In partnership with The Hearing Care Partnership, we provide free hearing assessments and advanced solutions for hearing loss. Services include digital hearing aids, tinnitus management, and ear wax removal using modern techniques. Our audiologists offer interest-free payment plans and unlimited aftercare, ensuring patients receive comprehensive support for improved auditory health and quality of life.

Very helpful, professional and friendly. Cheryl was amazing!!! She was warm and extremely knowledgeable in helping me choose the right frames that would suit my face, which was the complete opposite of what I though I would like. Fitting was easy and price was extremely competitive!!

Thanks for the great advice on frames and lenses. As a lifelong contact lense wearer I now have a great pair of specs too. It's great to know my eye health is being looked after so well by Tracey and the team.
