Definitely would recommend. The team were excellent all round raising knowledge and awareness. In my experience they beat other well known opticians by far. The first set of frames Jo picked up were the ones that were suitable, that should say it all, especially when I prefer contact lenses. I'll actually wear these. Thanks

Had the most wonderful experience with Jade at Blackheath Eyecare. Thoroughly a five star experience from start to finish. From my first enquiry via email, there was an almost immediate response and the professional and fantastic customer experience continued from there. Beautiful and quality eye wear of all kinds available and both of my appointments were conducted in a really covid safe way. Cannot highly recommend this optician enough and I will certainly be encouraging all my friends and family to switch their optician! Thanks ever so much Jade :)

Having tried 3 local opticians over the years I was recommended to Blackheath Eyecare by a friend. Superb opticians with 3 highly qualified optometrists and state of the art equipment not seen in other local practices. My examination was extremely thorough and results explained clearly to me in laymans terms.

Lenses by Nikon top quality and the dispensing opticians knowledge & advice ensured best choice of lens, tint, fitting & measurement for varifocal lenses. Superb fit and very
