Services
Eye Tests
Our comprehensive eye examinations include visual acuity testing, intraocular pressure measurement, and retinal assessment. Using autorefractors and slit lamp technology, our optometrists evaluate vision quality and eye health. The 30-minute appointments help detect conditions like glaucoma while determining prescription requirements for corrective lenses.
Retinal Screening
Digital retinal photography captures detailed images of the eye's posterior segment. This non-invasive procedure enables early detection of retinal abnormalities, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration. Our optometrists use these images to monitor eye health and identify systemic conditions affecting ocular tissues.
Diabetic Eye Checks
Specialised eye examinations for diabetes patients include retinal assessment and intraocular pressure testing. These annual screenings help detect diabetic retinopathy at treatable stages. Our optometrists collaborate with primary care providers to ensure comprehensive diabetes management through regular ocular monitoring.
Designer Glasses
We offer a curated selection of designer and fashion eyewear frames. Our opticians assist with frame selection based on facial features and lifestyle needs. All frames can be fitted with prescription lenses, including single vision, bifocal, and varifocal options to suit individual vision requirements.
Contact Lenses
Our practice provides contact lens fitting services for various vision correction needs. We offer soft, toric, and multifocal lenses with proper fitting assessments. Patients receive comprehensive instruction on lens handling, cleaning, and replacement schedules to ensure safe and comfortable wear.
