Mike Addison Optician
Being completely independent means we have the freedom to choose the ranges of frames and lenses that best suit our patient's needs, lifestyle and budget. All of our staff are local to this area, which means that the people we see every day inthe practice aren't just 'patients' - they are our neighbours, family and friends! Being independent and local does not restrict our abilities and professionalism.

We pride ourselves on the unique, bespoke service, where all of your optical requirements are met. Mike Addison Optician Ltd is a truly independent professional optical company covering the Eden Valley and beyond. We have two main practices, one in the historic Shire Hall on Appleby's famous 'Sands' and another in the beautiful market town of Kirkby Stephen.

We also hold a fortnightly satellite clinic at the Shap Medical Practice, Shap. Our practices are a perfect blend of all that you would expect from a traditional optician mixed with some of the most up to date equipment for examining eyes and vision.
Services
At Mike Addison Opticians we're proud to serve the people of the Eden Valley (and beyond).
We're truly independent and with one practice in Appleby, another in Kirkby Moorside and our fortnightly clinic at Shap Medical Centre, we're ideally located to help with the eye care needs of our local communities.
Everything we do is done with the patients' best interest at heart and time is taken to ensure that the patient does not feel rushed or pressurised into purchasing something they do not feel comfortable with.
When entering the practice you will be greeting by one of our friendly, caring, professional Optical Assistants who will make sure that your time in the practice starts in a very relaxed, friendly atmosphere.
In Appleby this could be Anna or Rosemary; and in Kirkby Stephen it could be Sarah or Hazel.
Once you have been 'checked-in', you will then be guided through a series of tests that lead up the full eye exam by one of our fully qualified Optometrists - Richard Nicholson or Lucy Peart.
Contact lenses and spectacle options can be discussed with Mike, who is a fully qualified Contact Lens Optician & Dispensing Optician.
We provide a thorough, fully comprehensive eye examinations for everyone.
Our service is the same whether you are a private or NHS funded patient.
Our tests include Fundus Photography, Field of Vision checks, Intra-ocular Pressure Checks, Slit-lamp examination and all of the usual legally required examinations.
All elements of the examination are explained and the results discussed with the patient to ensure that the patient is fully at ease during the exam.
There are several types of contact lens available to match a wide range of prescriptions, so it's more than likely there will be contact lenses that suit your needs.
Our qualified Contact Lens Optician (CLO) can talk you through the various options once you have had your eye examination.
Because we are a wholly independent practice, we are able to supply soft and Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) contact lenses from all manufacturers and suppliers.
We also have access to all the current lens material types which ensures we'll be able to find the best contact lenses for your requirements.
