👀Do your eyes feel uncomfortable?
If your eyes often feel gritty, sore, watery, or tired, you could be experiencing dry eye, also known as ocular surface disease.� It is a common condition, especially in Scotland where wind, weather, and screen time play a role. Perimenopause and menopause also cause noticeable changes in the eyes so may also be the route of the issue for some.

�We offer tailored advice and treatments to help you find relief and keep your eyes comfortable day to day and we’ll work to find you a long-term solution. Please don’t ever feel like you’re wasting our time. Having the opportunity to help improve day-to-day lives is why we work in eye care.

In partnership with Hear Always, we are delighted to extend our services to provide independent, professional hearing health care to our patients.
‍

So, if you have noticed any signs of hearing loss, or have any concerns about hearing loss, book an appointment today and begin your journey to better hearing health. Our new services include hearing aids and earwax removal.

We have had a lot of change at the practice in the last year so to receive feedback like this means a lot.

When your long standing optometrist retires, it’s completely natural to wonder whether the same standard of care will continue. We are thrilled to have received so much positive feedback since Sam took over.

If you would like to share any feedback feel free to email us info@rodgerandsmalridge.co.uk or leave a Google review here https://g.page/r/CVIdNk_dOb0eEBM/review

Your support and feedback is always greatly received.

Thank you for supporting your local independent opticians
As an independent practice, we are proud to look after generations of families here in Edinburgh. From children’s first eye tests to advanced screening for glaucoma, cataracts, dry eye, and AMD, we are here to protect your sight at every stage of life.

By choosing an independent optician, you are choosing longer appointment times, continuity with familiar faces, and a team that puts people before profit. We work in independent practice because we believe in providing the very best care, with genuine attention to every patient, not the bottom line.

Your support helps us continue doing what we love most: caring for our community and safeguarding your eye health. Please support local if you can, not just in eye care, when you buy a birthday card, when you get your weekly veggies, when you buy your fish on a Friday, just whenever you can.

We have a bustling little community here in Inverleith. Fantastic coffee shops, delis, take outs, chemists, pilates studios, hair & beauty salons and so much more. Now the weather is a little brighter, have a wander. Everyone is so friendly and will be delighted to have you take an interest in their business.

Timeless classic
This frame is a definite favourite of ours. It suits so many face shapes, and tortoiseshell looks great on a wide range of skin tones. A timeless style that works perfectly all year round.

Pop in if you're passing.

Sunglass season is coming🤞
It’s always a good sign when people start browsing our sunglasses. Even if it still feels chilly, your eyes still need protection from UV rays, so sunglasses are an essential part of looking after your eye health all year round.

Pop in and see the new styles we have in for 2026. Here are a couple from our Calvin Klein collection.

There are many reasons why your eyes may feel more uncomfortable in the winter months. Increased screen time is one of them. Staring at a screen makes you blink less, so may make your eyes feel drier. Here is a very simple piece of advice to help restore some comfort. It is a great piece of advice for kids too, especially those who spend a lot of time on devices, or playing video games.

Get blinking!

By including an OCT scan as part of your eye examination, we create a detailed record of your eyes year on year. This means we can spot even the smallest changes early, often before you notice any difference in your vision.

For the most thorough care, book an Enhanced Eye Examination with us.

We have some fab new frames in the practice, and we would love you to pop in and take a look.

Stepper is a firm favourite with our patients, known for lightweight comfort, excellent fit, and timeless design, these frames are perfect if you want glasses that feel as good as they look.

No appointment needed, just drop by, try them on, and see what you think. Take your time, no pressure, we are always happy to help when you are ready.

Proud of our heritage, focused on the future.
We have been caring for eyes in our community since 1888, and while a lot has changed over the years, our commitment to excellent eye care has not.

Today, that heritage is combined with the very latest technology, including our advanced OCT scanner. This allows us to look beneath the surface of the eye and detect early signs of eye disease, often before symptoms appear.

It is the reassurance of trusted, traditional care, paired with modern equipment and clinical expertise, giving your eyes the best of both worlds.

If you don't feel bold enough for a colourful frame, how about adding colour with a chain? And you'll never need to wonder where you left your glasses - it's a win win!
