Book Your Eye Test in Canterbury

A comprehensive eye test in Canterbury should give you complete confidence in your long-term health. Our 45-minute appointment combines precision vision checks with 3D OCT scans. These advanced scans create a cross-sectional map of your retina, helping us detect early indicators of eye conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetes early on.

Once your assessment is complete, our friendly advisors will help you browse our eyewear collection. From timeless designs by Tiffany & Co. and HUGO BOSS to classic Ray-Ban frames and smart Nuance Audio™ glasses, we will help you choose a style that fits your look, prescription, and budget.

Professional Earwax Removal in Canterbury

If you are experiencing blocked ears, muffled hearing, ringing, or a feeling of pressure, earwax buildup is often the primary cause. Trying to clear earwax at home with cotton buds usually pushes the blockage deeper into the ear canal, causing further discomfort and potential irritation.

At our St Peter's Street practice, we provide professional earwax removal using gentle microsuction technology.

A qualified clinician uses a low-pressure medical suction device alongside gentle magnification to lift and remove trapped earwax safely. Most ear cleaning appointments take roughly 20 to 30 minutes, restoring sound clarity instantly.

If you are a member of our Connect Eye & Ear plan, you receive unlimited earwax removal as part of your monthly membership.
