OCT
At G&G Pinner Optometrists, our OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) scans offer an advanced, in-depth look at your eye health far beyond what a standard eye test can reveal. This state-of-the-art 3D imaging technology allows us to examine the layers beneath your retina, helping us spot potential issues at the earliest possible stage.
An OCT scan is quick, comfortable, and completely non-invasive. It plays a crucial role in detecting and monitoring serious eye conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal thinning. Because many of these conditions can develop silently without early symptoms, OCT scanning provides an invaluable safeguard for maintaining long-term vision.
During your appointment, our optometrist will guide you through the process and explain your scan results clearly, showing you detailed images of your retina and helping you understand what they reveal about your eye health. Many patients find this insight reassuring and empowering.
Whether you have a family history of eye disease, are experiencing changes in your vision, or simply want a more proactive approach to eye care, adding an OCT scan to your routine eye exam is an excellent choice.
Protect your vision with the most advanced diagnostic technology available.
Visual Stress & Dyslexia
At G&G Pinner Optometrists, we offer specialised assessments for visual stress, dyslexia-related visual difficulties, and reading discomfort, providing support for both children and adults. Our goal is to help reduce symptoms, improve reading comfort, and make everyday visual tasks easier and more enjoyable.
Visual stress can cause words to move, blur, or appear distorted on the page, often leading to headaches, eye strain, reduced reading speed, and difficulties concentrating. These symptoms are commonly experienced by individuals with dyslexia, though visual stress can affect anyone. Our dedicated assessments allow us to identify whether visual stress is present and determine the most effective way to relieve it.
Using tools such as colour overlays, precision tinted lenses, and Intuitive Colorimetry, we measure how different colours impact visual clarity and comfort. Many patients experience significant improvements in reading fluency, focus, and overall comfort once the correct colour is identified.
During your appointment, we take time to understand your symptoms, observe reading behaviour, and explain each part of the assessment clearly. Our optometrists have extensive experience supporting children with learning difficulties, adults experiencing workplace-related visual strain, and anyone struggling with reading discomfort.
If reading feels harder than it should, or you suspect visual stress may be affecting you or your child, we’re here to help.
Myopia Control
At G&G Pinner Optometrists, we provide dedicated myopia management services designed to slow the progression of short-sightedness in children and young adults. With myopia rates increasing globally, early intervention is essential to protect long-term eye health and reduce the risk of future complications.
Myopia (short-sightedness) often develops during childhood and can progress rapidly if left unmanaged. Higher levels of myopia are linked to an increased risk of serious eye conditions later in life, including retinal detachment, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. Our goal is to help stabilise your child’s vision using scientifically backed methods that offer safe, effective results.
We offer a full range of evidence-based myopia control options, including MiSight® 1 day contact lenses, specialist myopia-control spectacle lenses, and orthokeratology (Ortho-K) overnight lenses. During your appointment, we assess your child’s vision, lifestyle, and comfort level to recommend the approach that suits them best.
Our myopia management consultations include detailed eye measurements, axial length monitoring, and ongoing progress reviews to ensure the chosen treatment continues to work effectively. We take the time to explain every step clearly, giving parents confidence and reassurance in their child’s care.
If your child is struggling to see the board at school, sitting closer to the TV, or showing signs of worsening vision, early action can make a meaningful difference.
Take a proactive approach to protecting your child’s eyesight.
Dry Eye Care
At G&G Pinner Optometrists, we offer dedicated Dry Eye assessments and treatment plans designed to bring long-lasting relief from irritation, watering, burning, and fluctuating vision. Dry Eye Syndrome is increasingly common—especially for those who spend long hours on screens, wear contact lenses, or experience hormonal or environmental changes. Our tailored care ensures your symptoms are properly understood and effectively managed.
Dry Eye occurs when your eyes don’t produce enough tears or when the tears evaporate too quickly, often due to Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD). Left untreated, it can cause persistent discomfort and affect daily activities like reading, driving, or working on a computer. Our specialised assessment identifies the root cause of your symptoms, allowing us to create a personalised treatment plan that restores comfort and clarity.
During your appointment, we use advanced diagnostic tools to assess tear quality, gland function, and overall eye surface health. Depending on your needs, treatment options may include prescription-strength lubricants, heat therapy, eyelid hygiene routines, MGD management, lifestyle advice, and tailored support for screen-related dryness.
We take a holistic, patient-first approach—explaining each step clearly and ensuring you understand how to maintain ongoing relief at home. Many patients experience significant improvement in both comfort and vision once the underlying cause of their dryness is properly addressed.
If your eyes feel gritty, tired, sore, or constantly watery, you don’t have to put up with it.
Contact Lenses
At G&G Pinner Optometrists, we provide comprehensive contact lens consultations and fittings designed to give you exceptional comfort, clarity, and confidence whether you’re a first-time wearer or looking to upgrade your current lenses. With modern contact lens technology more advanced than ever, there’s a comfortable solution for almost every prescription and lifestyle.
Our contact lens service begins with a detailed assessment of your vision, eye health, and tear film to determine the most suitable lens type. We offer a full range of options including daily disposables, monthly lenses, toric lenses for astigmatism, multifocal lenses, myopia-control lenses, and specialist lenses for dry eye or sensitive eyes. Whatever your needs, we tailor your fitting to ensure maximum comfort and visual performance.
During your appointment, we guide you through the fitting process, ensuring the lenses sit correctly on your eyes and provide stable, clear vision. New wearers receive personalised training on inserting, removing, and caring for their lenses—with plenty of time to practise until they feel confident. We also offer trial lenses so you can experience how they feel in everyday life before committing.
Regular aftercare appointments allow us to monitor your eye health and make any adjustments needed to keep your lenses performing at their best. Many of our patients appreciate the freedom lenses offer for sport, social activities, and all-day comfort without glasses.
If you’re ready to enjoy clearer vision with flexibility and convenience, we’re here to help. Discover the perfect lenses for your eyes at G&G Pinner Optometrists.
