Why Choose Us?

Specialist Technology

We use the most robust clinical examination and monitoring protocols.  Key to this is our ability to measure axial length – a direct measure to assess eye growth.  Whilst you may be under the impression that simply measuring the prescription is the best way to see if myopia management is working, this is not the case.  Axial length measurement is 6x more sensitive to changes in eye growth compared to measuring optical prescription changes.  This matters because having confidence in knowing the treatment is working is key to deciding when to switch treatments.
