Services
Eye Testing
Our comprehensive eye examinations utilise advanced diagnostic technology to assess vision and eye health. Our optometrists determine optical prescriptions while screening for conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. We employ OCT scanning and digital retinal imaging for early disease detection, particularly recommended for patients over 40, diabetics, and those with family eye disease history. The examination includes peripheral vision testing to identify neurological conditions affecting vision.
Children's Vision
Specialised vision assessments for children using age-appropriate testing methods. We evaluate visual acuity, depth perception, and eye coordination to identify developmental issues affecting learning. Our practice offers visual therapy programs addressing 'lazy' eyes and focusing difficulties. We collaborate with parents and educators to implement corrective strategies including spectacles and eye exercises. Early intervention ensures optimal visual development crucial for academic performance and social interaction.
Eyewear
Premium eyewear selection featuring designer brands like Ray-Ban, Gucci, and Oakley. Our optical specialists assist with frame selection based on facial structure and lifestyle needs. We offer high-quality German and Japanese-engineered lenses with advanced coatings for superior vision correction. The practice stocks children's frames designed for durability and comfort. All optical solutions are customised to individual prescription requirements and visual demands.
Contact Lenses
Comprehensive contact lens fitting services for various vision requirements. We provide trials for different lens types including daily disposables and toric lenses. Our optometrists assess eye health suitability for contact wear while educating on proper hygiene practices. The service includes follow-up evaluations to ensure comfort and visual clarity. We offer solutions for complex prescriptions and specialise in fitting patients with astigmatism or presbyopia.
Eye Disease Detection
Advanced screening for ocular diseases using OCT and visual fields analyser technology. We monitor progressive conditions like diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma with baseline measurements and regular follow-ups. The practice provides detailed retinal imaging for early macular degeneration detection. Our diagnostic approach combines structural analysis with functional vision testing to assess disease impact. Patients receive clear explanations of test results and management options.
