What’s New and Exciting

Acuvue® Centre of Excellence We are proud to have become an Acuvue® Centre of excellence, working in partnership with Acuvue® to ensure our patients get premium service and product choice.

As an Acuvue® Centre of Excellence, our optometrists are trained on all the latest contact lenses from Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, and when new product are launched, we will be amongst the first to offer them to suitable patients.

As an independent practice, we can of course use contact lenses from any manufacturer and will always advise the most appropriate contact lens for an individual patient.

Pachymeter As part of our philosophy of providing thorough eye examinations using the latest technology, we have recently acquired a pachymeter at both our practices.

The pachymeter measures the thickness of the cornea, allowing us to more accurately measure eye pressure and better assess patients' risks of developing glaucoma

Linklaters Refurbishment
We have recently completed major refurbishments at Linklaters, Bexleyheath.

We now have a purpose built Diabetic Retinal Screening suite and waiting area, and changes to the front of the practice have given us much improved disabled access.

Frames on Faces Our latest technology investment addresses the age old problem of wanting to try on new spectacle frames but not being able to see what they look like because you haven’t got your specs on! The ‘Frames on Faces’ programme takes images of you in up to 4 different frames at the touch of a button. The images are available to view instantly and are displayed on a computer screen, allowing you to choose which frame suits you best.  ‘Frames on Faces’ is now available at both our practices.

Colorimetry

Leslie Warren in Sevenoaks is now able to offer the use of The Intuitive Colorimeter to help assess visual stress in individuals with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia. [more]

Orthokeratology (Ortho K) One of the most exciting recent developments in vision correction, this technique employs lenses that are worn overnight, giving you clear vision through the day without glasses or contact lenses! We are able to offer Ortho K at both our practices.
