Dry Eye Treatment
Our Norwood Dry Eye Clinic offers advanced treatments for chronic dry eye conditions. Using technologies like IPL therapy and Lipiflow, we address meibomian gland dysfunction and inflammatory dry eye. Personalised treatment plans combine diagnostic precision with therapeutic interventions to restore natural tear production and protect ocular surface health.
Ortho K
Orthokeratology uses custom gas-permeable lenses worn overnight to reshape the cornea. This non-surgical treatment corrects myopia and astigmatism while you sleep, providing clear daytime vision without glasses or contact lenses. Ideal for active individuals and children experiencing myopia progression.
Myopia Control
We offer evidence-based programs to slow myopia progression in children and adults. Combining ortho K lenses, low-dose atropine drops, and lifestyle modifications, our approach reduces the risk of high myopia complications while maintaining visual clarity during critical development stages.
Contact Lenses
We provide comprehensive contact lens solutions including daily disposables, multifocal, and specialty lenses. Our fitting process ensures optimal comfort and vision correction, with ongoing support for proper hygiene and care. Custom options available for astigmatism, presbyopia, and keratoconus.
Eye Tests
Comprehensive eye examinations assess visual acuity and ocular health using advanced diagnostic tools. We screen for conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease while providing prescriptions for corrective lenses. Regular testing recommended for all ages to prevent vision loss.

Report
Nice staff who provide eye examinations for me and "keep an eye" on my macular degeneration and glaucoma. Philip and his staff are always updating equipment with the latest technology which is great. Friendly and accommodating . All good.
