care, our practice is equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic tools.

Eye Examinations

3D OCT

Our 3D OCT technology allows us to capture detailed cross-sectional images of the retina, providing a comprehensive view of its layers. This advanced imaging technique helps in the early detection and management of eye conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy.

By visualising the retina in three dimensions, we can monitor changes over time and tailor treatments to each patient's specific needs.

Retinal Imaging:

We use cutting-edge retinal imaging to take high-resolution photographs of the back of your eye. This non-invasive procedure helps us examine the retina, optic nerve, and blood vessels in great detail, allowing for the early detection of conditions like retinal detachment, macular holes, and other retinal disorders.

Retinal imaging is a crucial tool in our preventive care strategy, enabling us to detect potential issues before they affect your vision.

Contact Lens Specialists

We are contact lens specialists, guiding you through the entire process from beginning to end. Our comprehensive approach starts with an in-depth consultation to understand your vision needs and lifestyle.

We then perform a detailed eye examination using the latest diagnostic technology to determine the most suitable contact lenses for you. We'll then fit your lenses, ensuring they provide optimal comfort and vision.
