Care for the people you loveAn eye examination is not a full medical assessment — we refer you on when something needs a doctor.
THE OPTICAL PHILOSOPHY
Not just a prescription.
A conversation about how you see.
A WELCOME THAT FEELS DIFFERENT
Good eyecare starts
with being looked at properly.
Sometimes what you need first is somebody who takes the time. At optical the examination is a full half hour — long enough to check the health of your eyes, not only the strength of your lenses.
We talk about how you actually use your eyes: the screen you sit at, the road you drive at night, the book you read before bed. Then we say plainly what would help and what would not, so the choice stays yours.

A LITTLE CLARITY
Questions are
always welcome.
Curious about taking the next step?
Here are a few things worth knowing.
How long does an eye test take?
About half an hour. That is long enough to check your sight, look at the health of your eyes, and talk through what we find — rather than handing you a prescription on the way out.
How often should I have my eyes tested?
Every two years suits most adults. More often if we have advised it, if you are over 70, if you wear contact lenses, or if there is diabetes or glaucoma in the family. Come sooner if anything has changed.
Can I bring a prescription from somewhere else?
Yes. Bring it along with your current glasses and we will make up your lenses from it, provided it is still current. If it is out of date, or something does not look right, we will say so before making anything.
Do you fit contact lenses?
We do — a fitting, trial lenses to take away, and an aftercare check to make sure they are still right for your eyes. Contact lens wear needs its own regular check alongside your eye test.
How do I book, and what does it cost?
Choose 'Book an eye test' and leave your details and a preferred date. That request is not a confirmed booking: the practice will talk through availability and fees with you first, and no payment is taken through this website.
