Eye Examination
Comprehensive 30-minute eye examinations using advanced diagnostic equipment to assess vision and eye health. Our optometrists check for visual correction needs while screening for conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration. The service includes detailed explanations of findings and personalised recommendations for corrective eyewear or further treatment.
Contact Lenses
Specialist contact lens fittings for various vision requirements, including astigmatism and presbyopia. We offer daily disposable, monthly reusable, and specialist lenses with modern materials for comfort. Our optometrists provide ongoing support through contact lens schemes that include regular check-ups and replacement supplies for optimal eye health.
Children's Eyecare
Tailored eye care for children using precision tinted filters and specialist equipment to address reading difficulties. Our practices feature intuitive colorimeters for assessing visual stress and dyslexia-related vision issues. We provide age-appropriate examinations and corrective solutions to support children's learning and development needs.

The technology enables precise monitoring of eye health changes over time.
