We strive to provide the most thorough eye examinations using the latest technology and equipment so you, the patient, have full confidence in our findings and recommended management. We have a general routine we perform for every patient, but as we like to treat every patient as an individual the optician will tailor the examination similarly, which guarantees you a thorough examination executed smoothly, keeping you as relaxed as possible.

read moreGlaucoma is the name for a group of eye conditions which damage the optic nerve. This nerve carries information from the light sensitive layer in your eye, the retina, to the brain where it is perceived as an image. The retina can be thought of as akin to the ‘film' of a camera where light is focused. The information is then sent along the optic nerve. All glaucomas have certain key features in common. These are increased pressure inside the eye, ‘cupping' of the optic disc, and loss of the peripheral visual field.
