Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations use advanced diagnostic technology to assess vision quality and eye health. The 30-minute tests include intraocular pressure measurement, retinal imaging, and digital refraction analysis. Our optometrists check for common eye conditions while considering patients' medical history and lifestyle requirements. We recommend annual examinations for adults and more frequent checks for children and those with existing eye conditions.
Contact Lenses
We offer specialist contact lens fittings for all vision requirements, including astigmatism and multifocal solutions. Our range includes daily disposables, extended wear lenses, and therapeutic options. The fitting process involves corneal topography mapping and trial lens assessments to ensure optimal comfort and vision correction. Our team provides ongoing aftercare support and teaches proper lens handling techniques during initial consultations.
Smart Glasses
Our smart glasses collection combines cutting-edge technology with stylish designs from brands like Ray-Ban Meta and Even Realities. These devices feature integrated cameras, audio systems, and augmented reality displays. We offer expert guidance on selecting appropriate models and assist with prescription lens integration. Our staff provides demonstration sessions to help customers understand the full functionality of these wearable technologies.
OCT Scans
Optical Coherence Tomography scans provide detailed cross-sectional images of the retina for early disease detection. This non-invasive 10-minute procedure creates 3D maps of retinal layers, helping identify conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. We recommend OCT scans as part of routine examinations for patients over 40 or those with diabetes and other risk factors.
Night Lenses
Orthokeratology lenses reshape the cornea overnight to correct myopia. These gas-permeable contact lenses provide clear daytime vision without glasses or contacts. The treatment involves initial corneal mapping, custom lens fitting, and follow-up assessments to monitor progress. We offer specialist consultations to determine suitability and provide ongoing management for this non-surgical vision correction option.
