Eye Examinations
Our thorough eye examinations use state-of-the-art equipment to assess vision and detect eye conditions like glaucoma and cataracts. The 30-40 minute process includes digital retinal photography for long-term health monitoring. We participate in the NHS-funded Optometry First scheme for minor eye conditions.
Designer Eyewear
We offer a wide range of designer frames from Calvin Klein, Swarovski, and Ted Baker, alongside handmade acetates and titanium options. Our dispensing team ensures proper fit and style, with expert advice on lens choices including varifocals and photochromic lenses.
Contact Lenses
We fit all contact lens types, including daily disposables, multifocals, and specialist rigid gas permeable lenses. Our optometrists use corneal topography for precise measurements and offer free trial lenses, including options for myopia control in children.
Myopia Control
We provide clinically proven myopia management using Hoya Miyosmart lenses and Ortho-K contact lenses. These methods slow progression in children, reducing future risks of eye conditions like retinal detachment through tailored treatment plans.
