Our Services
We’re here for everything your eyes need
A local and independent optometry practice, we are known for providing the highest quality service, personalised care and an unmatched range of eyewear products to our community for over 65 years.
We provide a comprehensive range of specialised eye examinations designed to give you a complete understanding of your eye health. Our advanced testing allows us to assess everything from your vision clarity and prescription needs through to the early detection of eye conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease, and retinal issues. Using modern diagnostic technology, we also evaluate eye pressure, peripheral vision, corneal health, and tear function, ensuring no aspect of your eye health is overlooked. Whether you’re coming in for a routine check-up or have specific concerns, our thorough approach means we can detect problems early and provide the right advice and treatment to protect your vision long-term.
We’ve got a huge range of eyewear in-store, with something to suit everyone.
That includes our carefully curated range of premium and hard-to-find brands alongside more everyday options. Whether you’re after artisan crafted or keeping to a budget, there’s plenty to choose from.
Our range covers everything from vision correction, safety glasses for work, sunglasses for everyday wear, and durable options for kids. Whatever you need, we’ll help you find something that looks great, feels comfortable, and actually suits how you use your eyes everyday.
We offer a range of contact lenses to suit different eyes, lifestyles, and vision needs. That includes everyday disposable lenses for convenience, rigid lenses for sharper, more precise vision, and Ortho-K lenses that are worn overnight so you can see clearly during the day without glasses or contacts. Whether you’re new to contact lenses or looking for something that works better for you, we’ll help you find the right option and make sure it fits comfortably and performs the way it should.
