We test your eyes using the "old style" trial frame and lenses. We like to be able to see your eyes behind the frames instead of the electronic version where our view of your eyes is more restricted.

Which method do you prefer? Trial frame or electronic version? And why?

Have you ever wanted to try contact lenses but just never got round to it?

Most people can have contact lenses and there are even ones that can help you see distance and reading at the same time.

Book a contact lens fit today! £40 if you've worn before or £55 includes us teaching you how to insert and remove them. This includes a follow up appointment to see how you've been getting on with the lenses at home and make any changes needed.

Be honest, when was your last eye test? A year ago? Two? More?

Adults should have an eye test every 2 years mininum. Some people need one every year.

Eye tests are more than just vision, they are a window to your health! Your optician can literally see your blood vessels and see if your blood pressure is under control, or if you are diabetic. It can also tell us about problems in your brain like tumors, swelling or bleeds.

Give us a call if you think you might be due a check!
