We offer a full sight and eye health check including Glaucoma check. We have large range of spectacle frames to choose from and we also offer a free aftercare service.

One of our main aims is to prevent falls and sight loss and try to allow individuals to maintain their independence.

Our opticians have experience in dealing with individuals with special needs.  We can tailor our services to meet the varying needs of the elderly as well as the physically and mentally disabled.  We have a range of tests available to use, including picture charts for individuals unable to read.
