We test your eyes with state-of-the-art equipment and take time discussing our findings with you, giving advice and recommendations. We have a stunning selection of frames from contemporary Continental and British designers and a full range of classic designs - the choice is yours. The most important part of your glasses are the lenses, as it is through these individually crafted pieces of a special plastic material that you will see the world clearly.
We believe in being cutting edge when it comes to our equipment, so, for example, we have a special camera which photographs your eyes, enabling us to compare future pictures with past ones. We have recently invested in a scanner which allows us to view each of the 10 layers if your retina, helping us to detect macular degeneration and glaucoma at the earliest possible opportunity.
On the other hand, we allow ourselves to be rather old-fashioned about our patients. You're a name to us, not a number. We call you a patient, not a customer.

Good eyesight is crucial in making sure a child develops to their full potential both at school and socially.
It's especially important to look after children's eyes - the eye is still developing throughout early childhood so if problems are treated early, it can make a lasting difference.
Yet research shows that around 20% of school-aged children have an undiagnosed vision problem.
It's never too early to have a sight test, visiting an optometrist will mean you can spot and manage vision problems that may affect your child's development.

The majority of contact lenses worn in the UK are soft lenses which are replaced frequently on either a monthly or a daily basis.
If you have astigmatism, we may need to use a toric lens and if you need a different prescription for near vision than you use for the distance, then you may need a multifocal lens.
Some people's prescriptions will require gas-permeable lenses, which take a little longer to get used to.
