Services
Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye exams use advanced diagnostic technology to assess vision quality and ocular health. Experienced optometrists perform detailed evaluations of visual acuity, prescription requirements, and potential eye conditions. The process includes retinal imaging and glaucoma screening to ensure complete eye health assessment while considering individual lifestyle needs.
Designer Frames
We curate exclusive collections from international luxury eyewear designers, offering unique frames that combine fashion with functionality. Expert stylists provide personalized selection assistance to find frames that complement facial features and personal style. Our range includes vintage-inspired and contemporary designs using sustainable materials and innovative manufacturing techniques.
Contact Lenses
Specialized contact lens fittings address diverse vision correction requirements, including complex prescriptions. Our optometrists provide comprehensive assessments to determine optimal lens materials and wearing schedules. We offer premium lens options for astigmatism, presbyopia, and sensitive eyes, with ongoing support for comfortable, healthy contact lens use.
Retinal Scanning
Digital retinal photography captures detailed images of eye structures to detect early signs of ocular diseases. This non-invasive technology enables precise monitoring of retinal health over time, aiding in early diagnosis of conditions like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy through comparative analysis of high-resolution images.
Glaucoma Testing
Specialised glaucoma screening combines intraocular pressure measurement with optic nerve assessment to identify risk factors. Our diagnostic process includes visual field testing and OCT imaging to detect subtle changes in eye structure, enabling early intervention strategies for this progressive condition.

Madonna is simply sublime. She ensures you are always comfortable and never takes shortcuts. She takes care of you with the upmost care and then after quite literally a relaxing eye test she has the most amazing selection of frames & the highest quality lenses to compliment them. Her spectacles can be expensive but I am always left coming back as others simply are not as good. Worth every dollar. Could not encourage others to go to Madonna more, assure you that you will not regret going to her.

Outstanding service. Madonna takes care of you in a very calm and relaxing way. I thought I was at a day spa when in reality I was having my eyes tested! Could not recommend this service highly enough

Madonnas range of spectacles is varied and plenty to choose from. She takes the time to ensure you are happy with your choice and she is very reassuring and patient. She is thorough with your eye examination as well. Always a great service.
