Targeted Eye Care From Experienced Optometrists and Opticians
As independent optometrist practise, eye care is our utmost priority. David Shanahan, an experienced optician, has a combined experience of over two decades and strives to give patients the highest quality optometry care possible. We utilise the latest technology including retinal photography, corneal topography, threshold visual fields analysis and Digital microscope photography. Continued commitment to investment in the latest cutting edge optometrist technologies allows us to detect and treat conditions such as Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma and Diabetes.
Additionally, David specialises in the fitting and supply of the complete spectrum of contact lenses. From regular Soft Contact Lenses to the specially developed Rigid Gas Permeable Lenses for Orthokeratology and Keratoconus. Orthokeratology is the use of contact lenses worn at night to temporally eliminate myopia (shortsightedness) the following day.
