Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations utilize advanced ZEISS technology, including OCT and OPTOMAP imaging, to assess eye health and vision clarity. These tests are available for both private and NHS patients, ensuring early detection of conditions like glaucoma and retinal diseases. With over 35 years of expertise, our optometrists provide accurate prescriptions and personalized recommendations for optimal visual comfort.
Premium Eyewear
We offer a curated selection of premium eyewear, including Lindbergh and ZEISS-branded frames, combining style with durability. Our team assists in selecting frames that complement facial features while meeting individual vision needs. All products are crafted with precision, ensuring lightweight comfort and long-term wearability for both corrective and protective eyewear solutions.
ZEISS Lenses
ZEISS lenses provide superior optical clarity, tailored to individual prescriptions using freeform technology for precise vision correction. These lenses are designed to reduce distortions and enhance visual comfort across all lighting conditions. Backed by ZEISS's innovation since 1985, they are available in progressive, single-vision, and specialized designs for digital device users.
OCT Eye Scans
Our OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) scans create 3D images of the retina, enabling early detection of eye diseases like macular degeneration. This non-invasive technology provides detailed cross-sectional views for accurate diagnosis. Regular OCT scans are recommended for maintaining long-term eye health, especially for patients over 40 or with existing conditions.
Frame Repairs
We provide prompt repair services for broken or damaged frames, including adjustments, welding, and part replacements. Our technicians ensure repairs maintain structural integrity without compromising aesthetics. Most repairs are completed in-house within 24 hours, minimizing disruption to daily activities for our clients.

My wife and I have had eye care and glasses from Zeiss Opticians for over 15 years. They are head-and-shoulders the best opticians we have ever known. Not cheap but you get what you pay for. The product and service quality are first rate.

The folk at the shop couldn't have been more helpful, they helped with new lenses, they spent ages to source frames for me along with several other alternative frames, nothing was too much trouble. They even fixed my wife's damaged frame and wouldn't charge! The best service and experience we've had with opticians

Very good and efficient service. They fixed one of my old frames and I could not be happier. They knew exactly what was wrong with them. I will definitely be using them again!

Very positive experience compared to other opticians in Stratford upon Avon. Got the prescription spot on, on the first visit.
