Simpson Opticians is a family run Opticians based in Larkhall & East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire. Euan Simpson is the third generation of Optician at Simpson Opticians. His three daughters, Siobhan, Hannah and Lucy are all qualified Opticians too, ensuring that the family business will continue into the fourth generation. Our aim is to offer outstanding Personal Service.
Established in the early 1930's, we have been providing Opticians' services for over 80 years at our practice in Union Street, Larkhall. In 2015 we opened our East Kilbride practice in Calderwood Square. In 2019 the Village Opticians in East Kilbride closed and transferred their records to our Calderwood eye clinic. Both our Optometry practices have been fully refurbished and updated and are stocked with the latest frame styles, including top designers and quality kids frames.
Here at Simpson Opticians, we are genuinely interested in providing the highest level of eye-care at the best possible prices. We believe we have the best range of glasses / frames available in South Lanarkshire and beyond; displayed in a friendly, modern, open environment at our shop in Larkhall & East Kilbride.

After your eye-test, if you require new glasses, you will be issued with an NHS Voucher towards the cost of your glasses, which can get you FREE Frames and Lenses, including Bifocals or two separate pairs (Distance and Reading).
At Simpson Opticians we give you an extra allowance of 40 towards the cost of other glasses frames, so any frame below 40 is FREE, and over 40 you only pay the difference e.g. if a glasses frame usually costs 60, you only pay 20 and your lenses are FREE too.

We can tell how well the eyes are seeing using simple tests and by shining lights and watching how the eyes respond.
