TECHNOLOGICAL PROWESS

The practice’s comprehensive eye examination is unrivalled, offering an array of advanced technologies to ensure a thorough assessment.

The Martin Smith Opticians team of Martin, Sue, Mandy, Josh and Joana leave no stone unturned when it comes to the health of your eyes.

DISPENSING EXCELLENCE: A SEAMLESS BLEND OF TECHNOLOGY AND PERSONALISATION
Martin Smith Opticians’ commitment to excellence extends beyond cutting-edge optometry; it includes a dedication to the art and science of dispensing. Dr. Martin Smith sheds light on the unique approach taken within the practice to ensure personalised patient care.

“Our technology ensures that our patient is offered the best diagnostic eye examination available anywhere in the UK,” says Dr. Smith.

“We use the latest technology and I allocate 50 minutes for our eye examination which means I can investigate, diagnose and treat many eye problems in the examination. We understand that our patients lead diverse lives and their visual needs extend beyond routine eye examinations. Many of us spend more time on computers, or face challenges like night driving and headlight glare.

“Our dispensing room is equipped with advanced technology to cater to these specific needs, ensuring that every patient receives customised lenses in the right frame for outstanding results.”

BESPOKE LENSES FOR MODERN LIFESTYLES
With the increasing reliance on technology in our daily lives, Martin Smith Opticians is at the forefront of monitoring lens advances. Sue Edwards, Practice Manager, elaborates on the quality of bespoke lens designs offered, stating: “Our patients’ needs come first and we always select the most suitable lens for each individual. Currently, biometric lenses from Rodenstock are among the most advanced lenses available.

“Our DNEye Scanner calculates several thousand data points and measurements for each eye, which are then incorporated directly into the lenses, enabling our patient to have exceptional vision.”

INDEPENDENT FRAME STYLES FOR ALL TASTES
The stunning reception area at Martin Smith Opticians boasts an extensive collection of independent frame styles, offering patients a range of choices to suit their individual tastes. From the vibrant and stylish designs of Etnia Barcelona to the elegant titanium frames of Blackfin from the Dolomites, and the beautiful Silhouette rimless designs, the practice ensures that each frame is not just a functional accessory but a statement of personal style.

ADVANCED EQUIPMENT FOR PRECISION DISPENSING
Highlighting the practice’s commitment to precision, the private dispensing room houses the Rodenstock ImpressionIST 4 3D video measuring system, where clients experience a new dimension in precision dispensing. A quick look into the mirror captures a three-dimensional image, providing all the individual measurements needed for bespoke lenses. As Sue explains, “it’s accurate, fun, and our patients can’t believe the level of detail it captures.”
