# Martin Steels Optometrists — Arundel

> High quality eyewear, fitted by a qualified Dispensing Optician

Martin Steels Optometrists is an independent optometry practice established in 1983, serving Hampshire and West Sussex. The Arundel branch (opened 2002) is one of three practices — alongside Emsworth and Storrington — and is located on Tarrant Street in the historic market town of Arundel. The practice provides comprehensive eye examinations, medical eye care, contact lens fitting, hearing care, and curated designer eyewear, all dispensed by qualified FBDO Dispensing Opticians.

## Services

- **Eye Examinations** — Thorough NHS and private eye tests lasting around 30 minutes, using hospital-grade diagnostic equipment. Examinations include vision testing and a full eye health assessment.
- **OCT Scanning** — 3D Optical Coherence Tomography for detailed imaging of the retina, enabling early detection of conditions such as macular degeneration and glaucoma.
- **Optomap** — Ultra-widefield retinal imaging (200° field of view) using the Optos Daytona Plus, typically without the need for pupil dilation drops.
- **Medical Eye Care** — Optometrists qualified to prescribe medications for medical eye problems. The practice accepts referrals from private and NHS ophthalmologists and other optometrists for second opinions.
- **Myopia Management** — Services for managing and slowing myopia progression in children.

- **Hearing Care** — Complimentary hearing assessments, ear wax removal (micro-suction), tinnitus treatment, and tailored hearing aid solutions. Provided in partnership with Amplify Hearing using Beltone technology (UK exclusive provider). On-site audiologist available.
