Nikon prescription lenses are manufactured one at a time for a truly custom-made experience.

Our Enhanced Eye Exam is recommended for all ages and includes extra health checks which are not covered under a standard NHS test. The benefit? A more detailed and comprehensive examination of your eye health providing the optometrist with more in-depth information about your eyes than is available with a standard test.

Myopia, or short sightedness, affects about 30% of the population. Due to genetics and lifestyle changes, more children are developing myopia. High levels of myopia can affect quality of life and ocular health. Changes to lifestyle including spending more time outdoors and limiting screen time can reduce the risk of myopia worsening. Specialist contact lenses and spectacles have been designed to slow the progression of the condition.

An Optomap scan is a comprehensive image which shows 5x more than a regular NHS digital image.  This machine produces a high-resolution image of the back of your eye in one single capture.  This aids in the detection of conditions such as retinal detachments, diabetes and floaters.  The Optomap technology was founded and developed in Scotland.

An OCT scan is an extremely detailed scan of the front or back surface of the eye and available for all ages, including children.  It produces a 2D or 3D image of various structures such as the macula, optic nerve and anterior chamber.  It can be used to detect conditions such as macular degeneration and nerve changes.
