Aves Optometrists

Vallancey and Mary Bramley graduated from Glasgow Caledonian in 1987 and went their separate ways to finish their Optometry qualifications. They have both worked in small and large independent practices and also large multiples across the South of England. Mary never really left Aves, working here part-time over the years.

This can be daunting without the right help, but we are here to make this an enjoyable and affordable experience. The appearance, comfort and feel of new spectacles depend as much on the lenses you choose as the style of the frame. It is important to select frames which will suit your face and complement the lenses you need.

At Aves Optometrists, we have been fitting contact lenses for over 30 years, and have the experience in fitting a wide variety of lenses from the modern daily or Silicone Hydrogel lenses to the more complex and traditional gas permeable lenses. We have access, through our suppliers, to a wide variety of lenses, enabling us to impartially select the lenses most suitable for each patient's individual visual requirement.

Adult eye examinations take approximately 40 minutes and cost 55 which includes an Optomap Imaging. The NHS does not cover this modern technique but we are able to offer it for 20. When you attend your eye examination you will be taken to a room full of equipment. To the first-timer this can be daunting, but there really is nothing to worry about.

Children who are under 16 and students under the age of 19 in full time education receive an NHS funded eye examination. Our optometrists recommend that all children have Optomap Imaging done as part of their eye examinations. Eye examinations for ages 13 and under take approximately 20 minutes and children 14 or older take approximately 40 minutes.
