Non-invasive. Accurate. Life-saving.
Your eyes are far more than a window to the world—they reveal insights into your overall health and can reveal serious conditions before they escalate.
Using advanced AI-powered technology, real-time retinal screening analysis can now calculate your Cardiovascular Risk Score Profile in just 3 minutes. This vital insight predicts your likelihood of developing a serious heart condition within the next 5 years, empowering you to proactively manage your heart health.
Find out your Cardiovascular Risk Score with a quick Retinal Screening.
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) impacts the heart and blood vessels, leading to serious conditions, such as heart attacks and strokes. The latest UK statistics highlight the critical need for early detection:
Â
Thankfully, preventative steps can greatly reduce your risk, and early detection can save lives. Until now, however, it was difficult to identify cardiovascular concerns before it was too late. Dr. Noon CVD technology has forever changed this and Style Optique is thrilled to be one of the first Optical Practices in the UK to offer this potentially life-saving service.
Comparable in accuracy to hospital CT heart scans, but without the associated drawbacks, such as radiation exposure, claustrophobia, long wait times, and high costs, Dr. Noon CVD offers a fast, affordable, and safe Cardiovascular Risk assessment alternative. The process is completely non-invasive, entirely pain-free, and the results are delivered in just 3 minutes.
Dr. Noon CVD technology analyses retinal imagery using advanced deep-learning algorithms. The process works by analysing retinal imagery with deep-learning algorithms to identify micro-vessel changes and see how blood flows through your arteries, the ratio and balance between your arteries and veins, and any changes in your arteries and veins. Your retina (the back of your eye) is the only place in the body where blood vessels can be viewed directly, and when narrowing is visible in the arteries of the eye (atherosclerosis), there is likely to be the same narrowing in almost every other blood vessel in the body. This insight generates a very accurate and thorough Cardiovascular Risk Score for the next 5 years.
At Style Optique, we have always believed that an eye test is about more than excellent vision and fabulous frames—it’s about your overall wellbeing.Â
This innovative new Cardiovascular Retinal Screening technology, which assesses your risk of heart disease and stroke with a quick, comfortable scan of your eyes, is now available as an optional add-on to your routine eye exam for the nominal investment of just £55.Â
Solo-service Dr. Noon Retinal Screening is also available, should you wish to periodically reassess your Cardiovascular Risk Score in order to track your progress.

Proactive measures, including lifestyle adjustments and adherence to medical advice, are key to reducing your risk of Cardiovascular Disease and safeguarding your long-term health.
Dr. Noon CVD stands apart from calcification-based CT heart scans by directly analysing your arteries, which allows you to detect changes to your risk level with each screening.
Since your Cardiovascular risk can change over time—and can be improved—the ability to safely repeat this retinal screening at each vision test appointment enables you to continuously track your progress, and maintain a proactive approach to your heart health.
Cardiovascular disease refers to conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels, including heart attacks and strokes. It is the number 1 cause of death in the UK, causing over 160,000 deaths annually.
Dr. Noon CVD Retinal Screening technology is an innovative, AI-powered diagnostic tool. It performs real-time assessment of retinal imagery to precisely calculate a Cardiovascular Risk Score Profile, projecting an accurate risk assessment for the next 5 years.
Dr. Noon technology detects micro-vessel changes, assesses arterial blood flow, and identifies blockages by analysing retinal imagery with deep-learning algorithms. It compares these findings against a comprehensive patient database. The retina provides a unique, non-invasive view of arteries, and if narrowing is observed (atherosclerosis) it is highly indicative of similar issues throughout the body’s vascular system. This insight offers an extremely accurate prediction of your overall Cardiovascular Disease risk.
Yes, Dr. Noon is exceptionally accurate and the results are comparable with CT Calcium Scoring achieved by way of traditional CT scans of the heart. In order to achieve MHRA approval, Dr. Noon had to demonstrate clinical effectiveness in clinical trials, and the database includes several hundred thousand patients, of all ethnicities (including the UK Biobank). Dr. Noon has also been validated in world leading journals, such as The Lancet Digital Health and JAMIA, as well as conference papers published at the European Society of Cardiology.
3 minutes after your Dr. Noon screening, you will receive a 3-page report outlining your Cardiovascular Risk Profile. We take the time to explain your results to you in detail, and answer any questions you may have.
While no technology is ever 100% accurate, Dr. Noon is exceptionally precise and if you receive a low risk assessment, you can be re-assured that your risk of a cardiovascular event in the next 5 years is likely less than 1%. If, however, you receive a medium or high risk result (especially for your age), it would be wise to take preventative steps, beginning with contacting your GP to arrange a baseline ECG, Cholesterol, Blood Pressure and BMI check. If, at any time, you have symptoms such as shortness of breath or chest pain, you should consult your GP or call 111.
Dr. Noon CVD offers a safer, more comfortable, and cost-effective alternative to hospital-based CT heart scans, while providing very similar risk assessment results.
Unlike CT scans, which involve radiation, require contrast injections (that can damage the kidneys), are unsuitable for claustrophobic patients, and are very expensive, Dr. Noon CVD is non-invasive, radiation-free, pain-free, safe for repeated use, and low cost. Furthermore, Dr. Noon directly analyses your arteries, reflecting dynamic risk changes as your heart health changes in real life, which calcification-based CT scans cannot offer.
We recommend waiting at least six months after surgery before scheduling your Dr. Noon Cardiovascular Retinal Screening appointment.
To ensure the most accurate results, we recommend refraining from smoking, caffeine, sugar intake, exposure to strong light, and rapid temperature changes directly before your Dr. Noon Cardiovascular Risk Screening appointment.
Yes, you can still take the Dr. Noon Cardiovascular Risk Screening and benefit from accurate results. Depending on your condition, we may capture retinal images of one or both eyes.
Yes, Dr. Noon has been clinically tested, evaluated, and proven accurate and safe in the UK, and abroad.
Yes, Dr. Noon is completely non-invasive and pain free.
We will take quick, pain-free, non-invasive retinal scans and then present you with your Cardiovascular Risk Profile in just 3 minutes.Â
