*** After 12 noon update - April Fool, we’re happy where we are 😂 😂 ***

WE’RE RELOCATING 🤓

Thanks to the support of each and every one of our patients, the last few years have been the busiest in our 86 year history 💪

Demand for our eyecare services, our eyewear, and our contact lenses is such that we’ve now outgrown our original premises and we’re delighted to announce that we will be relocating to the former McEwans of Perth department store! 😮

We look forward to welcoming you soon, very soon i.e. before noon, today, 1st April 😜

Congratulations to Owen, one of our optometrists, on the passing of his Independent Prescribing exam (IP) 🥂

Optometrists with an IP qualification are able to clinically assess a patient, establish a diagnosis, determine the clinical management required and prescribe where necessary. They can prescribe privately, or write an NHS prescription, for licensed medicine for conditions affecting the eye, and the tissues surrounding the eye, within their recognised area of expertise and competence.

With both Ross and Owen now IP qualified we now have these skills covered in our practice 6 days a week 💪

Smoking significantly increases the risk of serious eye problems, including cataracts, macular degeneration, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy.

This month see’s the launch of NHS Tayside’s Community Glaucoma Service (CGS) and we’re extremely proud to be 1 of only 2 opticians practices in Perth & Kinross to be providers of this service.

The CGS allows patients with lower risk glaucoma to be managed in the community by specialist independent prescribing optometrists rather than in hospitals 🤓

12/02/2026

Just to say we will be closed on Thursday 19th February for a team development day 🤓

If you do have an eye care emergency on this day you can contact any other opticians practice for an appointment, or failing that call NHS24 on 111.

It’s been a busy busy year for us and that’s all down to the support and recommendations from all of our patients, and for that we thank each and every one of you ❤️

Wishing you and your families good health and happiness for the year ahead - Team Henderson 🤓

It’s time for your holiday contact lens reminder!

Yes, we’ll be open between Christmas and New Year but many of our suppliers are not. If you need a contact lens top up to see you through to 2026 then we’d recommend you place your orders this week 🤓

We were delighted to have the opportunity to support the Perth Parrots Floorball Club.

Ross and Stephen first met at a club just like this 26 years ago, and so they truly value the positive impact clubs like this have in the community.

Our club were visited by Ross & Stephen from WJ Henderson Optometrists to showcase the two new floorball rink boards they have sponsored.

Having the support of local Perth based businesses means so much to our club and means we can continue to support the LGBTIQ+ community, ensuring they continue to have a safe and welcoming space in sport.
