OP & TOM

Independent Eyewear and Optometry. We believe in Simple & Transparent prices with stylish glasses an "Hope to see you soon!”

OP & TOM is located on High Bridge, which is one of the most vibrant and interesting streets in the city centre. Our stylish Opticians store will add to the already interesting mix of bars cafes and shops and bring its own individual personality to the street. We believe getting your eyes tested should be an experience rather than just a necessary appointment. Our aim is to slow things down and give you as much time as is needed, rather than allocating a specific number of minutes for an eye test. Our prices are transparent and our frames are sourced from independent brands around Europe and the UK. Tim (Optometrist/Owner) above all wants you to enjoy the experience and leave the shop with a smile on your face.

When steps into the room wearing a pink frame, it’ll be the first thing anyone notices—in the best possible way.
A soft, pastel pink combined with a more vibrant deeper pink adds a fresh warm glow and is perfect for Marie’s complexion.
It’s the kind of frame that doesn’t just sit on the face—it becomes part of your personality.
Exactly how it should be.
