Liz started working in optics over 30 years and qualified as a Dispensing Optician in 2003. She purchased the business in 2007 and set about putting her individual stamp on it. Relocating to within the site of Horfield Medical Centre in 2014, Liz and the staff enjoyed the process of refitting and designing its unusual layout. She looks after the lovely Murphy, enjoys festivals and watch a good game of rugby.
Debbie qualified as an Optometrist in 1997 and we've been lucky to have her join us in 2018. She brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the practice, recently undertaking specific training in Dry Eye Management. Debbie is an regular runner, often participating in the local park runs and she also plays violin in a local orchestra.

At elizabeth pope opticians we offer a range of contact lenses to suit most needs, using the most up to date materials on the market.
The type of lens that is best for you will depend upon several factors, including your prescription and how often you want to wear your lenses.
If you are new to contact lenses, following a sight test, we will take you through our fitting procedure to ensure that you are happy with handling your lenses before taking them away for a trial.
These are soft lenses designed to be worn once then thrown away.
