Comprehensive Eye Examinations
Our NHS-funded eye exams use digital retinal imaging and advanced refractors to detect diseases like glaucoma early. Appointments last 40 minutes, allowing thorough assessment of your vision and eye health. We tailor examinations to family history and symptoms, ensuring accurate prescriptions and timely treatment.
Contact Lenses
We offer custom contact lenses for astigmatism, presbyopia, and dry eyes, including daily disposables. Our Contact Lenses+ scheme covers solutions, checkups, and discounts on spectacles. Free trials help you find the most comfortable fit for safe, clear vision.
Prescription Glasses
Choose from 500+ frames, including titanium and rimless designs. Our experts help select styles suited to your face shape and lifestyle. We supply lenses with anti-reflective coatings and blue-light filters using technology for optimal visual clarity and comfort.
Emergency Eye Care
Our optometrists diagnose and treat acute conditions like infections, corneal abrasions, and foreign bodies. Emergency appointments include necessary medication funded by the NHS. We accept direct bookings to avoid delays typically associated with GP referrals.
