Comprehensive Eye Examinations
Including OCT
Your eye health is our priority. Our comprehensive eye examinations go far beyond a standard vision check. We assess your eyesight, screen for common eye conditions, and monitor your overall eye health using advanced diagnostic equipment.
We are proud to offer Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), a cutting-edge imaging technology that allows us to look beneath the surface of the eye. OCT enables early detection of conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic eye disease—often before symptoms appear. This means we can take proactive steps to protect your vision for the future.
Our thorough approach ensures that every patient receives a tailored assessment and clear, professional advice.
Contact Lenses
Whether you are new to contact lenses or an experienced wearer, we provide expert guidance to help you find the perfect fit for your lifestyle and vision needs.
We offer a wide range of contact lenses, including daily disposables, monthly lenses, toric lenses for astigmatism, and multifocal options for presbyopia. Our team will carry out a detailed fitting and teach you how to safely insert, remove, and care for your lenses.
Comfort and eye health are at the heart of our contact lens service. We also provide ongoing aftercare to ensure your lenses continue to perform well and suit your needs over time.
Dry Eye Assessments Including
Blephasteam and Blephex Treatments
Dry eye is a common condition that can significantly impact comfort and quality of life. At Kelliher Opticians and Hearing Centre, we offer specialised dry eye assessments to identify the underlying cause of your symptoms.
Our advanced diagnostic approach allows us to evaluate tear quality, eyelid health, and gland function. Based on your results, we create a personalised treatment plan.
We offer in-practice treatments including Blephasteam, a gentle warming therapy that helps unblock the oil glands in your eyelids, and Blephex, a deep-cleaning treatment designed to remove debris and bacteria from the eyelid margins. These treatments can provide significant relief from irritation, redness, and dryness.
Our goal is not just to manage symptoms, but to treat the root cause and improve long-term eye comfort.
Myopia Management
Myopia (short-sightedness) is becoming increasingly common, particularly in children. Left unmanaged, it can progress and increase the risk of serious eye conditions later in life.
We offer specialised myopia management solutions designed to slow the progression of myopia. These include advanced Stellest spectacle lenses and MiSight contact lenses, both clinically proven to help control eye growth in children.
Our team will assess your child’s vision and discuss the most suitable treatment option based on their individual needs. We also provide ongoing monitoring to track progress and adjust treatment as required.
Early intervention is key, and we are here to support families every step of the way.
In-House Lab
Our in-house laboratory allows us to deliver a fast, efficient, and high-quality service when it comes to your eyewear. By glazing lenses on-site, we can significantly reduce waiting times and maintain full control over the quality of your glasses. This means quicker turnaround for new prescriptions, repairs, and adjustments.
Our skilled technicians ensure that every pair of glasses is crafted with precision and care, providing you with optimal vision and comfort.
At Kelliher Opticians and Hearing Centre, we are dedicated to combining expertise, technology, and personalised care to meet all your eye health needs. Whether you are visiting for a routine check-up or specialised treatment, you can trust our team to look after your vision with professionalism and attention to detail.

"I loved my visit. I find buying glasses so overwhelming but Rachel helped me pick styles that suited my face. Now have two pairs of glasses I love and much better value that glasses I looked at in Dublin. Top class customer service and gorgeous range of styles."

"I have had sore tired eyes for years and didn’t think anyone could help. I mentioned it to Rachel on my first visit to her and she explained the problem with my eyes so clearly and what to do about it. Feeling so much better and can’t believe no one had ever helped me with this before. Would highly recommend!"

"It was my first time with Kelliher opticiand and I went in today for a routine check and had to bring my baby. Rachel is so nice, so accommodating and so understanding that I have the baby with me. She even rocked the baby while I was having my test. I will be one loyal customer from now on."
