Advanced Retinal Imaging
Our Optopol Revo FC OCT scanner provides 3D cross-sectional eye images for early detection of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. This non-invasive technology enables precise diagnosis and monitoring of retinal health, offering deeper insights than standard photography. Ideal for patients seeking comprehensive eye health assessments.
Myopia Control
Specialist treatments including Hoya MiYOSMART lenses and MiSight contact lenses slow childhood myopia progression. We use axial length monitoring via OCT to track eye growth and adjust interventions. Designed for parents seeking proactive solutions to protect their child's long-term vision and reduce future eye disease risks.
Urgent Eyecare Service
NHS-funded rapid assessment for sudden eye issues like flashes, floaters, or vision loss. Available to Greater Manchester residents, this service reduces hospital visits through community-based treatment. Our trained team provides immediate evaluation and intervention for acute eye conditions, ensuring timely care within 24 hours.
Low Vision Service
Free NHS-funded assessments for Salford residents with uncorrectable vision loss. We provide magnifiers and adaptive tools on long-term loan, alongside practical advice for daily living. Tailored support helps patients maximise remaining vision through specialist equipment and environmental adjustments.
Learning Difficulties Exams
Adapted examinations for individuals with learning disabilities, featuring extended appointments and non-verbal testing methods. Our NHS-funded service addresses higher vision problem risks in this group, incorporating carer collaboration to ensure accurate assessments and accessible follow-up care.
