A M Optometrists

Hazel Fox is one of our optometrists, she studied at City University and has been in general practice since 1981. She is very interested in the opportunities that new technologies bring to an eye examination. She works with a wide variety of age groups and is happy to see both adults and children, she also has experience in fitting contact lenses.

You can be assured you will get a first class eye test from a very experienced practitioner. Visual field test and intra ocular pressure measurement are first carried out by highly trained optical assistants and your comprehensive eye examination will be tailored to your personal needs.

We have the latest retinal camera to examine the retina as well as an OCT, the latest technology to scan the macula and optic nerve for the early detection and diagnosis of many eye conditions.Thorough advice will be given on the best lens types for any glasses you may require, and we pride ourselves on our huge choice of frames sourced from around the world to make you the best glasses possible.

Modern contact lenses are so good that most people are capable of wearing them successfully. If you are interested in contact lenses, we will first test your eyes, discuss different lens options and then conduct a trial with your preferred choice of lens. We will teach you how to inset and remove them and provide a care kit for looking after them.

Retinal imaging allows us to photograph and view the back of the eye in great detail. This is very important in checking the health of the retina, optic nerve and for detecting the signs of many diseases. It gives us a permanent record of your retina and is an excellent method for monitoring any changes there.

At Maltings Eyecare, we have invested in a macular pigment screener (MPS II) that can quickly identify those most at risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD). AMD damages the macula, and as the disease progresses it blurs the patient's central vision, meaning that the sufferer can no longer see people's faces.
