CONTACT LENSES
We specialize in all aspects of contact lens fitting, including the fitting of lenses to damaged or distorted corneas using computerized corneal mapping directly linked to computerized contact lens manufacturing. Our motto “We can fit any eye that requires a contact lens”. Our connections with the very best contact lens laboratories worldwide allow us to have very specialized and unique lenses manufactured for our clients.

PATIENT EDUCATION
We have available numerous pamphlets on eye-care, contact lenses and contact lens care, contact lenses and cosmetics, myopia, babies’ vision, children’s vision, ultraviolet radiation, working with computers and many more.
In our waiting rooms we have instructional video displays and interactive educational software on eye health, contact lens care, eye pathology, optometric services and orthokeratology.

PROSTHETICS
For individuals with scarred corneas or who have had eye enucleations (eye removed), we specialize in fitting prosthetic contact lenses, prosthetic eyes and haptic shells. All these can be customized to ensure that the affected eye appears perfectly matched to the unaffected eye.

LASER ADVICE
Laser surgery, (lasik, epi-lasik) is becoming increasingly popular, with surgeons continually refining techniques and lasers becoming more advanced. Generally the results are good, however, it's important to bear in mind that like any surgical procedure, complications can occur. These complications range from minor irritations to major crises, so it is worth investigating the procedure before committing to this surgery. As we have no vested interest we can offer you advice on all the pros and cons of this type of surgery, and also do a full investigation to see if you are a suitable candidate, and, if you so wish, make recommendations on the surgeon you should see.
Post Laser Surgery follow- up is also very important. We use the latest computerized corneal topography equipment to check on your cornea to ensure that the surgery has been successful and help you with your visual needs after the surgery. We also use Z-Wave to help individuals whose laser surgeries have gone badly and who no longer have good quality vision. Z-wave uses CAD/CAM (computer aided design, computer aided manufacture) to produce an extremely complicated contact lens to correct the resultant corneal irregularities resulting from a laser surgery gone wrong.

Z-WAVE
Is a contact lens CAD/CAM (computer aided design/ computer aided manufacture) system that allows us to fit the most irregular and distorted corneas with contact lenses. We first use a corneal topographer to measure up to 15,000 points on the cornea. This provides us with a digital virtual mould of the cornea. We then use the sophisticated Z-Wave software to analyze these points and send these digital details to the laboratory which then produces a contact lens, either in a soft or rigid material to the exact contours of your cornea, and which can also be rotationally asymmetrical. The resultant unique lens, made in exact accordance with your corneal shape, will be able to correct vision problems that were previously impossible to correct. This is an ideal method of lens correction for keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration, irregular astigmatism, or radial keratotomy and lasik surgeries gone wrong. All these conditions cause blurred vision, ghost images, sensitivity to glare, multiple images, light scattering and poor contrast. Now with Z-Wave lenses these visual problems can be corrected. |

DISPENSING
There is huge difference between purchasing glasses and having a spectacle prescription filled. Having a prescription filled by a qualified optometrist who can advise you accordingly with regard to frame and lens selection is of the utmost importance. In frame selection we advise not only on the cosmetic appearance but, more importantly, we assess the distance between your eyes, your ear position, the width of the bridge of the nose and nose position, the type of material and if you are allergic to any metals (eg. nickel allergies), frame size and weight, and, of course, if the frame is correct for your prescription.
In choosing lens options, we have to consider lens design to minimize distortions and aberrations, the lens material and the refractive index, ultraviolet and infrared protection, multi and anti- reflective coatings, tints and changeable tints, weight and lens thickness

ADVANCED DISPENSING
We use dispensing tools such as computer video selection of frames, spectacle lenses and coloured contact lenses. The computerized mirror allows individuals with very poor vision to select and choose the right frame, lens shape and color.

SPECTACLE FRAMES
Our frame selection includes only the best in quality and fashion with specialized frames for high prescriptions, very young children and for the most discerning & fashion conscious. We carry nickel free frames for individuals with nickel allergies, which are quite common, titanium, cobalt, memory metal (practically child proof), acetate and stainless steel. |

SPECTACLE LENSES
We have the best laboratories in Singapore, Germany, France, Japan and Australia providing us with the best ophthalmic design lenses which are custom designed for all types of prescriptions. We specialize in No Line multifocals (Progressive lenses) and custom multifocals designed for you as a unique individual. We carry the thinnest and lightest lenses (plastic with 1.74 index), super thin glass (1.9 index), almost indestructible polycarbonate, UV coated (essential for eye protection), and photosensitive lenses in plastic and glass. |

CORPORATE EYE SCREENING
We customize screening programs for companies depending on the job profile, the visual tasks and work environment. We also offer consultancy services on lighting, ergonomics and layouts to ensure maximum visual performance.
