Our Eye Exam
1
Prescription Check
We are committed to providing our patients with the most accurate and suitable prescriptions for their vision needs. We believe in vision in real life, which is why we take our patients outside of the exam room to try out their new prescriptions.

Widefield Retinal Imaging & OCT Scan
Our latest addition, Widefield Retinal Imaging, captures a much broader and clearer view of the retina than ever before. This means both you and our optometrists can see more of what's going on inside your eyes - helping us detect potential issues early.
OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) provides a detailed, cross-sectional view of the layers at the back of the eye - the retina. It allows us to spot any irregularities such as fluid, bleeding, deposits, or lumps between those layers, offering insights into problems that may not be visible on the surface. It is a non-invasive scan.
An OCT screening is a quick screening that is included as part of our comprehensive eye exams. If we spot anything suspicious or note any early signs of concern, a more in-depth OCT scan may be recommended for further assessment and monitoring, which may incur an additional cost.

Eye Health & Eye Pressure
Our eye health check is a thorough assessment of both the front and back of the eye. Using a special microscope called Slit Lamp, and the latest technology - including Widefield Retinal Imaging and OCT scanning - our optometrists can detect early signs of common eye conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and more.
​
No more puff of air on to the eye when measuring your eye pressure, with our iCare tonometry - a gentle, no-puff alternative, you can feel at ease during your eye test.
