Our family-owned business has all the skills, knowledge and expertise needed to look after your family's eyesight. Choosing an optician is an important decision. Your sight is perhaps your most important sense - not only do you rely on it on a daily basis, but it also forms the foundation of most of your memories. So when it comes to your eye care, you want to know you're in the hands of trusted professionals who have a reputation for skill and expertise.
At Walford & Round Opticians, that's exactly what you'll find. We've been in business since 1927, during which time the practice has passed down the generations but always remained in the family. We operate from four practices within the West Midlands where you will experience complete continuity of care, with the same Optometrist assisting you from your initial examination through to frame selection and adjustments where necessary.
Our Optometrists are all registered with the General Optical Council, as required by law, so you can be sure that your eyes will be taken care of by fully qualified and approved professionals.

Initial Assessment - In addition to a full sight test, your eyes will be assessed on a microscope to ensure they are healthy before contact lens wear begins.
