spectacles dispensing

We have a huge variety of spectacles and sunglasses and regularly rotate the stock we hold during the year.

Our spectacle frames are to suit all needs from small paediatric frames, to strong robust titanium lightweight frames, to the bright and beautiful acetates for the more adventurous. We enjoy working with our patients to ensure they leave with a pair of specs they love.

Frames start at £80 and range up to top end designer frames. Don’t forget to look at our eyeplan membership to protect your new specs against accidental damage and help get the best value for money!

CONTACT LENSES

We fit a range of lenses from Dailys to Monthlys...

We ONLY operate our contact lenses on a monthly eyeplan scheme, this way we know your lenses are sourced responsibly. You don’t have to worry about paying out for routine check-ups or eye exams (required legally for lenses to be supplied) as it’s all included! On top of this you get special member pricing on spectacles and ALL your care is covered.

Children's Eyecare

NHS Funded 'Child Friendly' Eye examinations

CHILDREN’S EYECARE

We are a family friendly practice and will happily provide NHS funded eye examinations for children.

We encourage parents to bring their children along to have their eyes examined as soon as they can recognise objects such as stars, houses, apples (these are some of the symbols on the child friendly test chart). If spectacles are required we will help to find some that are the perfect fit, and if you feel it may be beneficial we also stock some very flexible ‘indestructible’ glasses!

Sarah-Jane and all of the team are extremely friendly, professional and their customer service is always exceptional. They offer a huge array of styles and really take their time to help you choose the right glasses with absolutely no pressure… I appreciate, and value, the individual and welcoming service I always receive whether over the telephone or whilst at an appointment. Highly recommended and a real example of fantastic customer service!

After very disappointing experiences over the past years a friend recommended Sarah-Jane. She listened, took time and it was imminent evident that it is not about selling the most expensive product, but putting the wishes and needs I had first. I felt valued, listened and what mattered to me most achieved. I was put at ease by being explained and shown the assessment picture of my eyes, knowing those are healthy and that I would get glasses my eyes actually need.
Andrea Owen
What a joy! So refreshing to receive personal service where the team genuinely care about you as an individual. Sarah-Jane & the team are friendly & welcoming, whilst remaining professional in their approach at all times. Sarah-Jane is extremely knowledgeable, thorough & her attention to detail is outstanding. I was also impressed with her level of patience when advising & assisting me in choosing the Colour & Style for my glasses.
Gary Vaughn
My wife and I couldn’t have asked for such a friendly and professional service from Sarah-Jane, Karen, Paula & Caroline. From start to finish in choosing our new glasses they were a cut above the rest and this is from experience. And the dedication Sarah-Jane gives to our eye tests is amazing. You can be guaranteed superb service from the entire team.
Ashley Rimmer
First ever eye test for me and my 8 year old son. The staff were lovely, they made us feel very welcome and relaxed, the lady doing the test explained what was going to happen to both me and my son, we both felt at ease, she was very thorough, we could not fault a thing, I will be recommending them to family and friends!
Michelle Burdett
A wonderful warm team with exacting standards. Sarah-Jane was extremely thorough with the eye test including an eye health check, we were very impressed.
Nothing was to much trouble for Gus and Paula. They made us feel very welcome. Thank you for all your patience and time helping us choose our new varifocal glasses.

 

Ann Skipper
I was hesitant in going to an independent opticians, as I thought that the costs would be higher and there wouldn’t be a good selection of frames. But I didn’t need to fear. I was overwhelmed at the service I received from Sarah-Jane and her kind and friendly team. It really was the best eye examination that I have had. The selection of frames were fantastic and were surprisingly cheaper than I had expected. Thank you to all the team.
Catherine Chandler
Excellent customer service. The team are absolutely lovely, and have great attention to detail with prescriptions and advising on the best options for frames and lenses, I absolutely love my new specs! 5 stars and would absolutely recommend.

hospital grade scans

Our Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a hospital grade scanner which scans below the surface of the retina (back of the eye) and can detect very subtle changes, which helps us diagnose eye disease earlier.

Scans are kept on file to allow us to build up a profile of your eye health, and should you ever need referring the relevant scan can be exported and sent to the hospital along with your referral letter.
