Frames
Frames
Frame design and manufacture has come a long way in the last 50 years. We stock a wide range of frames to ensure we have something to suit everyone, from designer ranges like Prada, Versace and Ray-Ban, funky bold plastic frames or elegant rimless options. We are confident we can find you something that looks amazing, for a price you’re comfortable with. Whichever you choose all our frames come with a minimum 12 months’ guarantee against manufacturing faults.
Sunglasses
Sunglasses
Whether you normally wear glasses or not, if you drive or play sports then you’ll know glare can seriously interfere with your activities. And we are all now aware of the dangers of excessive UV exposure to our eyes, as well as our skin. So, we stock several different ranges of sunglasses, from the popular Ray-Ban to Maui Jim and Serengeti sunglasses with their superior glare-protection. We even have our own range of sunglasses at a special ‘all-in’ price. Whichever you choose they are available to your prescription, are properly UV filtered and will be fitted with as much care and attention as your regular glasses.
Spectacle Lenses
Lenses
As professionals we understand the qualities of a good lens, so we choose expertly designed and manufactured lenses from Nikon. They’ve been making lenses since before they started making cameras and are at the cutting edge of lens design and manufacture. However, because we’re independent, we can source lenses from anywhere. This gives us the advantage of being able to fulfil any specific requirement you may have. We’re confident that the lenses we choose are amongst the very best available.
Lens Coatings
Most of our lenses come with a scratch-resistant coating as standard – while this doesn’t make them bullet proof, it does mean that the lenses will last longer than they would otherwise. Increasingly now, lenses are being supplied with anti-reflective coatings too, which reduce the symptoms of glare and give a sharper image than an uncoated lens. They also cosmetically enhance the appearance of your spectacles, making the lenses look nearly invisible. You can also choose to have your lenses coated to filter out ultraviolet, remove some wavelengths of blue light to alleviate symptoms of visual stress and minimize the effect on your body clock, and be made water repellant, anti-static and fingerprint resistant!
Contact Lenses and Solutions
Contact Lenses and Solutions
Being independent means we can source contact lenses from anywhere, so there are rarely occasions where we can’t meet your needs. We supply lenses from all the major manufacturers like Johnson & Johnson, Coopervision and Alcon, as well as from smaller companies who can make more complex prescriptions and bespoke lenses. Whatever your preferred method of wear, be it daily, monthly, two-weekly or even yearly replacement, our optometrists will advise on the best lens type for your eyes. This means your eyes stay healthy, you get the most comfortable solution and the best vision possible.
Ongoing Eye Health
Ongoing Eye Health
In recent years there has been an increasing focus on helping patients to manage their ongoing eye health and to be more aware of how they can help maintain healthy, comfortable eyes and good vision.
One of the biggest factors in this is to do with dry eyes and the tears. There’s loads of information in our blog. We can suggest many different ways to keep the eyelids healthy in order to maintain good tears. Different types of drops work for different problems and suit different people and we make every effort to find the right one for you. In addition, eye masks, eyelid cleansers and wipes can all help to keep your eyes in tip-top shape.
As well as external problems, we can also provide supplements that have been shown to slow down, and in some cases stop the progression of macular degeneration. Nothing can reverse damage that has already occurred and they’re not a replacement for a good diet, protecting against excessive UV exposure and generally looking after your health properly, but for some people, supporting this with Macushield capsules, which provide the right balance of specific vitamins and supplements, can make a real difference in maintaining the delicate structures in the retina.
