Our comprehensive eye exams assess visual acuity, detect eye diseases, and evaluate overall ocular health. Using advanced tools like slit lamps and OCT imaging, we identify conditions such as glaucoma and macular degeneration early. The process includes detailed discussions about medical history and lifestyle needs to ensure accurate prescriptions for spectacles or contact lenses.

Specialised programs to slow myopia progression in children using evidence-based methods. We employ orthokeratology lenses and atropine therapy tailored to individual prescriptions. Regular monitoring tracks effectiveness while educating families on environmental factors affecting vision development. This service combines clinical expertise with ongoing patient support.

Had my eyes tested by Hannah who was very knowledgeable and got my prescription spot on, because the new lenses i had done have been brilliant. Very helpful getting my 3 year old daughters sunglass fitted and adjusting my wife's sunnies too. The free lens cleaning solution (that they also refill for free!) has been really useful.
