The services provided include thorough and extensive Eye examinations. This is inclusive of computer assisted techniques,ophthalmoscopy,slit lamp check,pressure check for glaucoma,sight and prescription assessment,binocular vision tests and the general health of the eyes. A holistic approach is used while we look after the optical needs,as the health of the eyes in turn reflects the health of the body. Various systemic conditions,like hypertension and diabetes can be detected during a proper eye examination.
These may need referral to the relevant specialists and all the necessary action is taken to ensure that the patient gets the best follow-up. Following the eye examination,the patient is taken through the process of dispensing of spectacles. A very wide range of frames and lenses are available and special needs are catered for. Different options are discussed with the patient in great details and dispensed in line with patients requirements and life styles. This enables patients to make an informed choice. Fashion now plays a large part in what we wear on our faces. In that respect, Cambridge has cut a niche for being a trend setter and for introducing new innovative designs.
Over the years,the company's contact lens practice has grown. It fits both hard gas permeable and soft lenses. It specializes in the fitting of contact lenses for keratoconus, a condition of the cornea which is unusually common in kenya. Special considerations are in place for students and especially for the disadvantaged groups.
In this era of new technology,soft contact lenses have become widely available to suit most patients needs. The company stocks a big range disposable contact lenses, colored lenses and solutions.
To further promote primary eye care, free clinics have been organized in various schools in the poor sectors and also in conjunction with Rotary clubs. A series of forums to educate the public have been conducted. The first ever Keratoconus Forum in Kenya was held in November 2003 and was a great success. The second was on diabetes and its complications,held in November 2004.
In today's era of competition,the company is convinced that its unrelenting professionalism has given patients excellent eye care by giving them the right knowledge,updated standards of care and quality products. We will continue to strive and apply our motto "focused on eyecare."
