Our Services
Specialised Care Across the Age Spectrum
We have a special interest in paediatric optometry, seeing patients as young as six months old, especially those with a family history of eye problems. Our optometrists are also experts in managing age-related eye conditions such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, and dry eye.
Advanced Diagnostic and Therapeutic Services
Our practices are equipped with cutting-edge technology, including retinal cameras, auto-fluorescence imaging, and OCT scanning, to ensure optimal eye health for families. We collaborate closely with local NHS eye hospitals to provide community care for glaucoma, medical retina screening, CUES assessment for red-eye, and more. As therapeutic optometrists, we treat most eye diseases in-house. Andrew Matheson's higher qualification in glaucoma allows us to modify glaucoma treatment plans without re-referral to eye hospitals. Patients with ocular hypertension, who may be at danger of developing glaucoma can be treated preventatively.
Collaboration with Private Eye Clinics
We work closely with local private eye clinics, particularly cataract, glaucoma and vitreo-retinal surgeons, to offer post-surgery follow-up and treatment. Our therapeutic qualifications enable us to handle post-operative complications like cystoid macular oedema and uveitis swiftly, ensuring better recovery outcomes. We accept referrals for Eye exams, OCT scanning, dry eye treatment, , acute emergency eye-care visual field testing, retinal photography, chromogen colour vision and dyslexia and reading difficulty assessment​
