Frames

We have a wide selection of frames to suit your specific requirements and provide honest and personal advice about the style, shape and colour to suit your face and skin tone and the frames to suit your lenses.

We also offer:

• Take Home & Try Service
  Choosing the right frames for your spectacles is an important and very personal decision. If you are unsure whether the frames that you have chosen suit you, we offer a unique take home service so that you can show your partner.
  
  
• Accident & Emergency Service
  Our on-site laboratory enables us to make-up prescriptions quickly and to repair frames, where practical, on a same day basis. We also offer an Emergency Eye Care service which ensures that anyone in pain or requiring immediate attention is seen as rapidly as possible on the same day.
  
  
• On-Site Laboratory & Workshop
  Unlike many opticians we have an on-site workshop allowing us to make up your spectacles and carry out same day repairs without having to send them away.

We constantly update our designer ranges to ensure that we have the very latest styles and fashions available to our patients.

Lenses

We supply a complete range of spectacle lenses from single vision to bifocal and varifocal in glass, plastic and all types of thin lenses, with a full range of coatings. Our qualified and experienced staff will advise what is best suited to your personal requirements.

All our lenses are custom made to your own unique visual requirements.

We have access to the latest lens technologies from the world's leading lens suppliers.

Contact Lenses

If you haven't worn contact lenses before we will need to assess your vision, eye health and suitability. Our optometrists will determine which type of contact lens is best for you. We are happy to discuss our extensive choice with you.

We will teach you how to insert and remove your contact lenses and how to store, clean and care for them. We will also monitor your progress to ensure all is well.

• Try Them for Size
