Services
Eye Examination
Our comprehensive eye examinations combine detailed medical history reviews with advanced diagnostic testing. Using OCT imaging and digital retinal photography, we assess both vision quality and eye health. The process includes visual field testing, pressure measurements, and slit lamp examinations to ensure early detection of potential issues.
OCT Imaging
Optical Coherence Tomography creates 3D images of the eye's internal structures, enabling precise diagnosis of retinal conditions. This non-invasive scan detects early signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. The technology provides cross-sectional views of retinal layers that traditional methods cannot achieve.
Sports Vision
Specialist assessments optimise visual skills for athletes, including depth perception and peripheral awareness. We provide tailored eyewear solutions for outdoor sports and prescribe training programmes to enhance visual reaction times. The service benefits both professional athletes and recreational sports enthusiasts.
Hearing Care
Led by an experienced registered audiologist, our hearing care service includes comprehensive assessments and hearing aid provision. We offer wax removal, tinnitus management, and bespoke hearing solutions with modern technology. The clinic provides both diagnostic services and ongoing support for hearing impairments.
Ortho-K
Orthokeratology uses custom rigid lenses to temporarily reshape the cornea overnight. This non-surgical solution corrects myopia and reduces dependency on glasses or contacts. The treatment is particularly effective for children and active adults seeking vision freedom during waking hours.

Report
Been a patient for many years but will NOT return! They have new staff and they are rude! Was left feeling extremely humiliated and left with an upset child-with the test incomplete, they are refusing a refund. Only gave one star as it requires a minimum to post review otherwise it would be zero.

I have been going to Jane's since she opened in Wrexham. She is an excellent optician, her examinations are thorough and performed with efficiency. All her staff are helpful and respectful. During this lockdown, by visiting Alec(optometrist)he discovered I had a retinal detachment and he and Jane got me admitted to Abergele eye hospital the next day for surgery. I cannot thank them enough. There speed saved my eyesightA big thank yiu.

Report
The standard of care at Jane Smellie Opticians is way above anything I've experienced elsewhere with an impressive attention to detail and unhurried care and time given at every appointment. Patients are made to feel like individuals rather than just numbers in a computer. And there are treatments available here that you can't get elsewhere, like Ortho-K for sight correction with no daytime glasses or contact lenses and no surgery. Highly recommended.
