Taking the time

to ensure the best care possible

We will provide an exclusive experience that’s un-hurried; we wish to provide the most accurate and detailed assessment of your eye health and vision possible irrespective of time taken.

We treat our patients as individuals and tailor the range of service and clinical care that we offer to suit you.

We recommend the advanced version of our eye examination for all our patients a longer appointment allowing us to fully utilize the benefits of the very latest instrument technology we have, to detect much earlier potential sight threatening conditions than would otherwise possible.

Our highly skilled Optometrists genuinely care about what they do.

Investing in 

the latest technology

We don’t make comparisons with other opticians; but we do take great pride that it will be hard to find a better equipped practice than Eyesentials.

We have a sustained on-going programme to invest in the very latest technology and our history has shown we have very often been the first to adopt technology such as OCT advanced optical imaging as long ago as 2012.

In 2021 we have introduced an Optomap to the practice to work alongside our OCT to allow an even greater retinal health assessment.

Early detection of eye disease can be crucial in preserving our vision. OCT allows our opticians to literally look inside your retina for earlier signs of a problem.
