Services
Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive 30-40 minute eye examinations detect vision problems and ocular diseases. Using advanced diagnostic technology, we assess refractive errors, eye health, and potential conditions like glaucoma. The process includes digital measurements for precise lens prescriptions and personalised recommendations for vision correction.
Eyewear Fitting
We offer custom-fitted eyewear from over 1,000 frames, ensuring comfort and optimal lens positioning. Our digital measurement system guarantees precise lens alignment with your unique facial structure. We specialise in progressive lenses, occupational lenses, and anti-reflective coatings for superior visual performance.
Contact Lenses
Our contact lens service includes fitting, prescription, and supply of soft, rigid gas permeable, and orthokeratology lenses. We provide follow-up assessments to ensure eye health and offer solutions for complex conditions like keratoconus. Customised fitting ensures comfort and visual clarity for all wearers.
Orthokeratology
Orthokeratology involves wearing specialised contact lenses overnight to reshape the cornea, correcting myopia during the day. This non-surgical solution slows myopia progression in children and reduces dependency on glasses. We provide comprehensive assessment and ongoing management for safe, effective treatment.
Glaucoma Management
We diagnose and manage glaucoma using advanced diagnostic tools and therapeutic medications. Our optometrist holds an Advanced Certificate in Glaucoma, enabling prescription of scheduled drugs for disease management. Regular monitoring and preventative care help preserve vision and slow disease progression.
