We are now in the next phase of lifting restrictions and would like to advise you that we are still able to offer our full service (NHS and private eye examinations) and are open for all eyecare, eyewear and contact lenses. We have social distancing procedures in place and follow guidance provided by NHS England. This includes appointment only visits, a sanitation station and temperature checking on arrival.
All our staff wear face masks and undertake twice weekly lateral flow tests to check for any symptoms. We have also all had our vaccine. I am pleased to say that we have consistently had a clean bill of health.

There are so many spectacle lens types around these days that it's hard to know which are best for your own needs.
Fortunately, all of the team at Julian May Opticians are well trained to guide you through the spectacle lens minefield and advise you specifically.
There are lots of different spectacle lens manufacturers: Essilor, Nikon, Zeiss, Norville, Rodenstock, Kodak, Hoya and various smaller lens laboratories.
We select the best lenses from these suppliers and, in the vast majority of cases, fit them to your frames in our own on-site lab.

There are two main types of contact lens: hard and soft.
Both have improved enormously over the last few years.
Many of the early problems associated with contact lenses have either been resolved or minimised which means that the vast majority of people can now successfully wear them.
Soft lenses are the most popular type because they are so comfortable.
Most people say that within a week they don't know that they are in their eyes except they can see!
Soft contact lenses aren't only available to correct long and short sight, they can now correct for astigmatism and even where you need a different correction for near and far.
