From the moment you walk in the door, every member of staff you meet will show the same high standard of friendly yet professional customer service.

Expert retinal imaging and scans
Getting a true picture of your eye health means examining every millimetre of your eyes, including the parts which can’t be seen.
Our retinal imaging technology lets us view 400 per cent more of your eye than we would by sight alone, by taking a 2D photo of your retina (the vital part which focuses images and sends them to the brain).
We also have highly advanced OCT scanning technology, which offers an advanced eye scan for people of all ages. It is particularly useful for early detection of conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and vitreous detachments.
Other health problems such as high blood pressure and even heart disease can be identified from subtle changes in the eye.
Every OCT scan you have is added to your medical history, giving us a detailed and accurate record of your eye health which will build over time.
The OCT scanner takes a series of pictures with a quick and simple scan of your eye. The scanner then compiles these pictures into a 3D image which can be used to identify any abnormalities or problems which may require further examination.
The images produced by an OCT scanner are up to 25 times higher in resolution than any other retinal camera.
The OCT scan is non-invasive, painless, simple and quick. You will begin by resting your chin on a support which faces the OCT scanner.
Using the finest in imaging technology, your eye will then be scanned (without touching it), creating a 3D image of your eye.
An OCT scan is harmless to your eye.
We endeavour to tell you everything we can about your examination, speaking in plain language and allowing you to make informed decisions about your eye health.
Ask us any questions about the scan – we will be happy to help.
