Services
Comprehensive Eye Exams
Our detailed eye examinations assess vision clarity, eye health, and systemic conditions. Using advanced imaging, we detect early signs of glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Tailored to adults and children, these exams ensure accurate prescriptions and long-term health monitoring.
Coloured Contact Lenses
Specialty lenses that enhance or transform eye colour while correcting vision. Brands like Air Optix and Acuvue offer natural blends for light or dark eyes. Our fittings ensure comfort, proper fit, and eye health maintenance for daily or monthly wear.
Custom Eyewear
Handcrafted frames from local and international designers, including our Pascali brand. Each piece combines style with functionality, tailored to facial structure and lifestyle needs. We ensure precise fitting and adjustments for optimal comfort and vision.
Dry Eye Treatment
Advanced diagnostics identify causes of dry eye syndrome, including environmental and medical factors. Treatments include prescription supplements, lid hygiene products, and heat masks. Personalised plans restore tear film stability and reduce discomfort.
Neurological Assessments
Specialised evaluations for binocular vision dysfunction and neurological conditions. Using cutting-edge technology, we diagnose issues affecting focus, coordination, and visual processing. Treatment improves comfort for digital device users and those with post-trauma vision challenges.

Hi
I have attended the Optometrist Clinic on 30 Dec 21. I was met with an exceptional customer care and professional attention.
Paul, the owner Optometrist, has suggested to me some important and preventive measures to consider them now, before an issue would start to occur.
Prevention and applied treatment, right from the time when the symptoms are confirmed is the best practice - so much neglected in nowadays by many medical professionals and government agencies. With great Thanks and Appreciation

The service is fantastic. I have continued to have regular check ups and each time Paul uses a full range of examinations to monitor my long term eye health. They have also dispensed three sets of glasses for me and each time the product was faultless.

Great set up, Paul is very knowledgeable/thorough and the rest of the team helpful and welcoming. SO much better than your average chain optometrist experience.
