Amazing to see the warmth and support for the Mission Christmas appeal. The patients have been dropping in generous gifts all month and our staff have got in the spirit with daily festive outfits. We know these gifts will go to some wonderful children in the area thanks to forth1official and cashforkidsedi.

On Monday she was Mrs Claus, then yesterday Helen was a busy elf, helping Santa collect all these gifts to hand out to children who, otherwise might not receive gifts this year.

Thanks for everyone who has popped in with gifts. They will make some children very happy this Christmas. 🎅🏻

Christmas party season has arrived!
We love that so many of our patients have treated themselves to new frames for the party season! And why not?! So often an old pair of glasses, that have seen better days, let down a fabulous outfit! There's still time to get yourself some new eyewear to make sure you feel a million dollars this Christmas.

Pop in for a wee browse at 8 Bridge Street. We'd love to see you.

Why all eye tests are not the same
Not all eye tests offer the same level of care. At our independent practice, we take the time to go beyond the basics:
✔️Longer appointment times, so nothing feels rushed.
✔️Advanced technology like OCT scans and retinal imaging for early detection of eye disease.
✔️A team who knows you, your history, and your family.
✔️An eye test isn’t just about updating your glasses prescription. It’s about protecting your long-term eye health.

Who says sunglasses season is over?
In Scotland, we’re lucky to enjoy bright, crisp winter days and sun = sunglasses, even if it's not 'taps-aff' temperatures! Low winter sun can be dazzling, whether you’re driving, or enjoying some golf, running, or cycling. And if you’re heading off somewhere sunny, you’ll definitely want a pair you love.

We stock stylish, high-quality sunglasses all year round, offering great protection from harmful UV rays. So pop in and find your perfect pair, your eyes will thank you. 😎

📸Here is our lovely patient Jim picking up his Silhouette frames.

Awards night!
We had a brilliant evening at the Scottish Optometry Awards. Being shortlisted for Independent Practice of the Year was such an honour, and although we did not come home with the trophy, we so proud to have been nominated, a real team effort.

This Christmas, thousands of local children will be living in poverty. Many are at risk of waking up with nothing under the tree.

We are teaming up with Mission Christmas to help change that. We’re getting ready to help reach children who might receive nothing - making sure they have something special to open on Christmas morning.

If you are able to donate a gift, please ensure all gifts are new and unwrapped and are for children aged 0-18 years of age - presents for boys aged 7+especially are always desperately in need.

Please drop any gifts off to the practice from today.

Thank you!
