Routine eye examinations
Regular eye examinations are vital. Your eyesight can change fairly quickly and it is important that you are wearing spectacles with an accurate prescription so as not to cause any unnecessary damage. You may experience symptoms if you’re wearing the wrong prescription but you may not. Eye exams are essential, for not only assessing your eye health but the eye can also tell the optometrist vital information regarding your general health as well, such as diabetes and blood pressure.

Contact Lenses Consultation
Many people prefer wearing contact lenses rather than spectacles. If you are new to contact lenses or are unsure if they are right for you, our optometrists can help. We can review the large range of contact lenses available and find the right ones that would best suit your lifestyle. Our eye care specialists can explain the advantages and disadvantages of each kind of lens, and find the option that is best suited to you. During your consultation you’ll try out different brands of lenses and practice putting them in and taking them out, so you can become a confident and healthy lens wearer.

We say yes to recycling
We are part of the ACUVUE® Contact Lens Recycle Programme
Our patients and the wider general public can drop off their contact lens waste (regardless of the brand) at our clinic and we will send them off to be recycled on your behalf.
Did you know 20% of contact lens wearers flush their lenses down the toilet, others simply dump them in the bin after use. Because contact lenses are not biodegradable they end up in our rivers, seas and oceans. Being denser than water, they float to the bottom and are consumed by creatures who mistake micro-plastics for food. This can have adverse effects on the food chain and the environment. Recycling contact lenses instead put a stop to this chain of events.
We’re looking to a greener future.

FAQs
An eye examination will help assess your vision but also reveal vital information about your overall eye health as well as your general health, such as diabetes and blood pressure. Vision can change rather rapidly and it is important to ensure that you have the most up-to-date and accurate prescription to prevent any further damage to your eyesight.
A regular eye examination is important, even when you feel like you can see well. Generally speaking, you should have an eye examination every two years unless advised sooner by your optometrist. Certain people may require more regular eye examinations, such as those with diabetes or those with a family history of glaucoma. If you have any obvious changes to your vision then you should seek attention immediately.
Over time, diabetes can cause damage to your eyes that can lead to poor vision or even blindness. Around 1 in 5 people with type 2 diabetes experience problems with their eyes and vision. It is recommended that those with diabetes have more frequent eye examinations to monitor for diabetic eye diseases.
Yes. During your appointment, the optometrist will show you how to insert and remove your contact lenses and then ask you to demonstrate this several times until they are sure you are comfortable doing it yourself. You will also have a follow-up aftercare appointment to check how you are getting on with them.
Because you are inserting something into your eye using your finger, wearing contact lenses can make you more susceptible to eye infections. Therefore, good hygiene and a thorough eye care regime is essential for contact lens wearers to prevent infections. You can do this by always washing your hand thoroughly before handling your contact lenses and ensure you clean and store your lenses properly. The optometrist will discuss this in greater detail with you during your appointment. There is the option for daily contact lenses which are once-use and do not require overnight cleaning or storing – they get thrown away at the end of the day.
Absolutely. There are several reasons for still needing glasses such as, your eyes needing to rest and taking occasional breaks from wearing contact lenses. They are also good just in case you develop an eye infection or injury, have seasonal allergies and/ or require you to temporarily stop wearing contact lenses. Essentially, it’s important to have a backup that can aid your vision if, for whatever reason, you are unable to wear your contact lenses.
Your spectacle and contact lens prescription will most likely be different, this is due to how close they sit to your eyes. As contact lenses are directly on the eye and glasses sit further away on the bridge of your nose, they are most likely to be independent of each other and therefore the prescription cannot be interchangeable.
Yes. Many people with astigmatism choose to correct their vision with contact lenses. Not all contact lenses are suitable for astigmatism, so your optometrist can discuss the options available and advise on what might best suit you during your appointment.
Yes, we are able to add a prescription to any of the sunglasses we sell. If we do not have a style that you like, you can bring in a pair of sunglasses you’d like us to adapt into prescription sunglasses.
Please bring these with you to your appointment.
The first proper eye examination is usually recommended for children around age 4. If you have any concerns about your child’s vision, then book an appointment as soon as possible. We are a family-friendly clinic and all our optometrists have a breadth of experience examining children’s eye health.
No. Currently, this is not a service that we offer. We can however refer you if you require this service. Please speak to your optometrist at your next eye appointment.
