Services
Eye Examination
Our comprehensive eye examinations last up to 45 minutes, combining detailed visual assessments with advanced diagnostic technology. The process begins with lifestyle and vision requirement discussion, followed by precision tests for prescription accuracy, peripheral vision, and retinal health. We recommend biennial tests for adults and annual checks for children and seniors, ensuring early detection of potential eye conditions while maintaining optimal visual comfort.
Contact Lenses
We provide expert contact lens fittings with access to leading brands and specialist solutions. Our optometrists assess corneal health and vision requirements to recommend suitable lens types, including daily disposables and myopia control options. We offer trial lenses and comprehensive fitting checks to ensure comfort and visual clarity, with ongoing support for proper lens care and replacement schedules.
Myopia Control
Specialist myopia management for children using clinically proven MiSight 1 Day lenses. These daily disposable contact lenses have demonstrated 59% reduction in myopia progression over two years through their dual-focus optical design. Our practitioners provide detailed assessments, fitting sessions, and ongoing monitoring to ensure effective treatment while maintaining visual comfort and ocular health.

Report
Long time client (with vision in only one eye). I've moved 2 hours out of London yet still ensure that I get my annual tests, contacts and glasses from Karen and the team. Why would I go anywhere else whilst they have the most up to date testing kit and range of glasses?

Report
I recently had an appointment for a full eye test with Karen and was blown away by the technology used for the test. The test was very thorough and I wasn't rushed out at all. I was given explanations and even referred to the Ophthalmologists for one of my scan results. All the staff within this opticians are friendly, knowledgable and patient. I would recommend to anyone who wants to have a proper, in depth eye test.
