📣 A quick heads up to all Keyworth patients 📣

Our car park is still extremely icey so we have closed it off, please find an alternative place to park if you are driving (there is car park next door to us which is free for 2 hours).

Please also use the path that we have cleared with grit and salt when walking across the car park to access the practice as all other areas are extremely slippy! ❄️

👁️ Putting Patients First — Always 👁️

Recent GOC research shows what many optometrists already know: commercial pressures and tight time slots are making it harder for some to provide the care patients truly need.

At Lesley Cree Opticians, we do things differently.

✅ We allocate 40–45 minutes for each eye exam — no rushing, no conveyor-belt.
✅ Your appointment is fully with your optometrist — from the consultation to explaining your results.
✅ We use advanced tools like digital photography, OCT imaging, and (in our Radcliffe practice) Optomap wide-field scans to ensure a deep look at your eye health.
✅ Most importantly — you’ll never feel pressured to buy something you don’t need.

Because when it comes to your vision, there should be no compromise.

👉 Read more about how we’re putting patients before pressure:

While the GOC’s findings show that many optometrists are struggling, Lesley Cree Opticians remain committed to a more personal and ethical approach to eye care.
