McPherson Optometry

Family run Optometry business founded in 1960. Find us on King Street next to the Castlegate. Welcome to McPherson Optometry.

We are a family run business, founded in 1960 by Charles McPherson. Sons Stephen and Malcolm McPherson now run the practice. Following extensive refurbishment work the practice now boasts the latest technology to maintain and improve eye health. This includes high-tech equipment collectively dealing with a wide range of eye care, from ultra-thin lightweight spectacles through to complex contact lenses and treatments for eye problems. We believe that an independent practice has a responsibility for each and every one of the patients we see and that we treat everyone as we would like to be treated ourselves. This approach is one we do not see often enough today and comes from the practice beginnings. We are proud to be a family business with our history going back over 50 years and two generations of optometrists.

🌈 A Colorimetry assessment might be just what you need! 🌈

👓 If reading feels tiring or certain patterns make your eyes feel uncomfortable, you’re not alone, and there are ways we can help.

😍 Kim, one of our lovely optometrists, specialises in Colorimetry and visual stress. She’s fantastic at making patients feel at ease and helping them find out whether coloured overlays or precision tints could make a difference.

Fun fact of the Day.. 🌏🌏🌏

Did you know.. Earth’s rotation is changing speed, It's actually slowing. This means that, on average, the length of a day increases by around 1.8 seconds per century. 600 million years ago a day only lasted just 21 hours. and in another 600 million years it will last 27 hours 🌀

🌈 Discover how colorimetry may alleviate visual discomfort and visual stress! 👓

👇🏼 Understanding Visual Stress 👇🏼
Visual stress is a term used to describe visual discomfort and perceptual distortions in the printed text, suffered by many people who struggle to read. It is estimated that up to 20% of dyslexic people experience visual stress and also the general population in varying degrees including migraine sufferers and some neurological disorders which affect processing.

👇🏼 Visual Stress and the Role of Colour 👇🏼
Colour has been known to make improvements to reading speed and accuracy. Colour overlays or tinted glasses or contact lenses may help enable longer periods of reading free of discomfort.

The following symptoms indicate you may be suffering from visual stress:
❓ Tiring easily when reading
❓ Letters changing shape or size
❓ Halos of colour surrounding letters
❓ Red, sore, watery eyes
❓ Blurring of print
❓ Patterns on print

👓 Our Optometrist can carry out a visual stress/ overlay assessment and may suggest that you try an overlay when reading for a few weeks, noting any improvements.

👓 The Colorimetry assessment may result in precision tinted glasses being prescribed. The colour will be more specific to each individual's needs. This is more precise than the overlay assessment and very often produces a different colour to the overlay.

If you feel this could be beneficial to you or your family, please get in touch to arrange an appointment. An up to date eye examination is recommended before assessing any visual stress:
