Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our thorough eye examinations assess both vision quality and ocular health using advanced diagnostic equipment. We detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration while providing accurate prescriptions. Patients receive detailed explanations of their eye health status and recommended treatment plans.
Contact Lens Fitting
We offer precision contact lens fittings with ongoing support for optimal comfort and eye health. Our specialists handle complex cases including astigmatism and presbyopia. We provide trial lenses and follow-up assessments to ensure proper adaptation to new prescriptions.
Diabetic Eye Checks
Specialised retinal examinations for diabetes management include dilated eye assessments and retinal photography. We monitor for diabetic retinopathy and provide detailed reports to GPs. Patients receive education on maintaining ocular health through blood sugar control.
Designer Eyewear
Our curated collection features premium frames from leading brands alongside budget-friendly options. Optical consultants assist with style selection and lens customisation. We offer special ordering for exclusive designs not available in-store.
Glaucoma Testing
Advanced glaucoma screening uses applanation tonometry for accurate intraocular pressure measurement. We conduct optic nerve evaluations and visual field testing to detect early-stage glaucoma. Patients receive risk assessments and monitoring schedules.

Great service, my multifocals are perfect. Previously I went to another company and could not wear the prescribed glasses. When I first put my new glasses on that Walter prescribed I did not get headaches and I could use with the computer with no issues- he is the best.
