LATEST NEWS

In recent years, there’s been a concerning rise in the prevalence of short-sightedness, medically known as Myopia, among children. While there is no cure for Myopia, it is possible to slow it down or stop it from getting worse.

Now’s the perfect time to book an eye test for your children to detect any onset of the condition.

MORE THAN MEETS THE EYES

If there's one thing we're not willing to give up on, it's our patients seeing things the way they're supposed to look. And we love glasses. Find the right pair and they'll become an important part of your personality and your self expression.

Not everyone feels like going to the optometrist, putting off that eye test time and again. We get that. At Eye Emporium we know things can be done better. We pride ourselves on our transparency, our customer service and our friendly teams who will make you feel right at home.
