Qualified optometrists conduct detailed assessments lasting 30-45 minutes, checking for common vision problems and early signs of eye disease. The service includes personalised recommendations for corrective lenses or further specialist care when needed.
Contact Lenses
We offer professional contact lens fittings with ongoing support for all lens types. Our specialists provide thorough eye measurements and trial lenses to ensure optimal comfort and vision correction. The service includes usage instruction, hygiene guidance, and follow-up appointments to monitor adaptation to contact wear.

Experienced dispensing opticians provide personalised styling advice to match facial features and lifestyle needs. All frames are fitted with precision using Zeiss premium lenses for superior optical performance and durability.

I was very impressed with the professionalism and friendliness of all your staff. Lindsey the optometrist was absolutely brilliant.She was careful, meticulous, extremely knowledgable, and very reassuring. I think it would be difficult to get better care and treatment from other eyecare professionals on the high street.

Warm and welcoming. I was after a particular pair of glasses. Justin listened to my request also recommended me what would suit me better. I left the place totally satisfied with my choices with the right help not pushy but helpful.
