Eye Examinations
We offer comprehensive eye examinations using hospital-standard equipment to assess vision correction needs and detect eye diseases. Our tests include standard NHS examinations and advanced private options incorporating OCT scans. Patients receive detailed explanations of results and recommendations for corrective measures, with eligibility checks available for NHS funding.
OCT Scanning
Our Topcon 3D OCT technology provides detailed retinal imaging for early detection of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. The non-invasive scans take seconds to perform and can be combined with regular eye examinations. We offer various scanning options including macula analysis and corneal thickness measurements to support comprehensive eye health assessments.
Contact Lenses
We provide specialist contact lens fitting services including solutions for keratoconus and myopic progression therapy. Our Medmont Topographer ensures precise corneal measurements for optimal lens fit. We offer trial lenses for comfort testing and free aftercare for patients purchasing lenses through our practice, with expert support from our BCLA-registered optometrist.
Minor Eye Conditions Service
This NHS-funded service addresses urgent eye conditions like red eyes, flashing lights, and painful eyes. Available to patients registered with Islington and North London GPs, our qualified optometrists can prescribe medications and arrange specialist referrals when needed. The service provides rapid assessment and treatment planning for acute eye problems outside regular examination scope.
Spectacle Supply
We offer a wide range of prescription spectacles including designer brands and specialist eyewear. Our 2-hour spectacle service ensures quick turnaround for most orders. Patients benefit from expert frame selection advice and precision lens fitting, with options including Nikon lenses and swimming goggles for specific vision needs.

Excellent attention. Andrew dedicates good time to check your vision and explain you thoroughly your condition. From eight optics I asked for my check, this is the only one that mentioned me it can be covered by the NHS instead of charging 40.
