Services
Eye Examination
Comprehensive eye examinations assess both vision correction needs and ocular health. Our opticians use advanced diagnostic equipment to detect conditions like glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. Patients receive personalized advice on lens options and eyewear tailored to their lifestyle and prescription requirements.
Contact Lens Assessment
We provide trial contact lenses and comprehensive fitting assessments. Our opticians teach proper handling techniques and monitor adaptation through follow-up appointments. Custom solutions available for complex prescriptions and lifestyle requirements, including daily disposables and extended wear options.
Retinal Photography
Digital retinal imaging captures detailed images of the eye's posterior segment. This technology enables early detection of conditions like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy. Images are stored for comparative analysis during future examinations, enhancing long-term ocular health monitoring.
Home Visits
We provide domiciliary eye examinations for housebound patients. Our mobile equipment enables comprehensive assessments in the comfort of patients' homes. Services include prescription updates, ocular health evaluations, and eyewear adjustments for those unable to visit our practice.
3D OCT Scan
Ocular Coherence Tomography creates high-resolution cross-sectional images of eye structures. This non-invasive scan detects early signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease. Results enable precise monitoring of ocular health changes over time.

The service was superb with real attention to deal. This includes ongoing glasses care following the purchase. Also, staff provided great advice and they were not trying to sell you things you did not need.

What a fantastic Optician. Christine, Stephen and the lovely lady on reception are professional, courteous and a pleasure to have done business with. Excellent customer care provided on all levels.

I have been a customer at Hendersons for the past 3 years they helped me get to grips with using contact lenses and put a lot of time into this as I did struggle with them - Christine has recently helped me with some glasses that didn't fit correctly again she spent alot of time and effort to ensure I was happy with them - you don't get service like this from Specsavers! Highly recommended great local business Thankyou!
