One Small Step For Man

Our advanced eye examination takes around 50 minutes. That may sound like a long time—but your eyes deserve it. We don’t believe in rushing through appointments. Instead, we take the time to do things properly, answer all your questions, and ensure you feel truly cared for.

You have access to all the whizz-bang health scans that you would expect to see in an episode of Star Trek, but instead, right here, right now. We use the Optomap which gives us an ultra-wide look at your eye with a single image, compared to a standard retinal camera.

We’re proud to be one of the top-rated opticians in the area, with over 200 five-star Google reviews. Sometimes you’ve got to blow your own trumpet!
