The examination your
eyes have been waiting for

Most people have never had a truly thorough eye test — because in the NHS, it usually requires a hospital referral. Eye Academy delivers the same hospital-grade diagnostics your GP would refer you for: the Heidelberg Spectralis 4D OCT used in NHS hospital eye departments, led by Moorfields-affiliated optometrists on the GOC specialist register. No referral. No waiting list. Available this week. From £139.

As authorised stockists of the world's most prestigious collections — Tom Ford, Cartier, DITA, Oliver Peoples, Cutler & Gross and 50 more — we bring an exclusive curated edit you won't find on any high street. Personal styling consultations included.
