Services
Eye examinations
We conduct comprehensive eye examinations using advanced diagnostic equipment to assess visual acuity and detect potential health issues. Our optometrists check for common vision problems while monitoring overall eye health. Patients receive detailed explanations of their results and personalised recommendations for corrective solutions.
OCT scans
Our Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scans create 3D images of the retina for early detection of sight-threatening conditions. This non-invasive technology enables precise monitoring of eye health changes over time. The enhanced diagnostic capability helps prevent vision loss through timely intervention strategies.
Hearing care
We provide complete hearing assessments and solutions through qualified audiologists. Services include free hearing tests, device fittings, and tinnitus management. Our partnership with Amplify Hearing ensures access to premium Beltone hearing aids with comprehensive aftercare support for long-term satisfaction.
Designer eyewear
Our practices showcase extensive collections of designer frames and sunglasses from leading brands. We offer single and multifocal lenses with advanced coatings for optimal clarity. Patients benefit from expert styling advice to find eyewear that combines visual performance with personal aesthetics.
Ear wax removal
We perform safe micro-suction ear wax removal without liquid irrigation. This modern technique effectively clears blockages while minimising discomfort. The procedure is conducted by trained professionals using specialist equipment to maintain ear health and improve hearing clarity.
