NHS and private eye tests, a dry eye clinic, contact lenses and our own glazing lab, all at 188 Smithdown Road.
A thorough, unhurried test with an experienced optometrist. We provide NHS and private eye tests, and we welcome prescriptions from other opticians.
A regular test includes checks for early signs of conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic eye disease, often before you notice any symptoms.
Dry eye is common, particularly in women and contact lens wearers. It comes from a problem with the quantity or quality of your tears. We can test your tear volume and composition to find out what is going on.
Free trials with a current sight test, so you can find the right lenses before you commit.
Our own lab means quick turnaround, repairs and adjustments, and your optician and technician work side by side. Most single vision prescriptions are completed the same day.
Damage to the optic nerve that gradually narrows your side vision. Up to half of people affected do not know they have it, which is why regular tests matter. Most often found from age 40.
Painless loss of central vision that makes reading and recognising faces harder. It comes as wet or dry AMD. Age over 65, smoking, a poor diet and obesity raise the risk.
The lens clouds with age, causing glare, halos around lights and blurred vision. Most common over 70, and treatment is routine and successful.
When glasses, lenses, surgery or medication cannot fully correct sight. We stock low vision aids and magnifiers.
