Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations assess vision correction needs and detect eye health issues like glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic retinopathy. Using advanced OCT imaging, our optometrists provide detailed analysis of retinal health and optic nerve function. Each test includes personalized advice on maintaining ocular health and addressing lifestyle-specific vision challenges.
Designer Frames
We offer an extensive collection of designer frames from Chanel, Tom Ford, Persol, and Luxottica's boutique collections. Our dispensers help clients select frames matching facial structure, lifestyle, and budget, with access to limited-edition styles unavailable elsewhere in the region.
Contact Lens Consultations
Specialist contact lens clinics address complex prescriptions and lifestyle requirements. We provide fittings for daily disposables, extended wear, and rigid gas permeable lenses, with ongoing support for first-time wearers and those transitioning from spectacles.
Paediatric Optometry
Child-friendly eye examinations start from age two, focusing on developmental vision needs. We identify and address vision problems affecting learning, including binocular vision disorders, and provide durable, adjustable frames for active children.
Lens Replacement
Custom lens replacement using Carl Zeiss Vision and Nikon technologies ensures optimal clarity. We offer ultra-thin, anti-reflective, and progressive lenses tailored to individual prescriptions, with same-day glazing available for select prescriptions.
