Our enhanced and ultimate eye tests use advanced imaging to give your optometrist a clearer, more detailed picture of your eye health.
Optomap captures up to 80% of the retina in one ultra-wide image, revealing issues traditional tests may miss.
OCT uses light to create a 3D cross-section of the retina, detecting tiny structural changes years before symptoms appear.
These tools allow earlier, more accurate diagnosis and long-term monitoring.
