Business Details
We would like to reassure patients that we are still open and available for all your eyecare needs. We are exempt from the level 4 restrictions and will still be able to provide a full range of services. Travel to your eyecare appointments is still permitted under these restrictions. We are still following government guidelines therefore an appointment is required in order to attend any of our practices.
We are always pushing the boundaries of our technology with the most up-to-date scanning equipment for monitoring and diagnosing eye disease. Not all lenses are the same. Getting the right lenses is essential and should be your first consideration when choosing glasses. Whether you're active, sporting or simply feel like refining your personal look, contact lenses offer an exceptional, practical alternative.

Services
Eye Care
The eye examination does much more than just test your vision. In fact, your eyes can be portals that offer a glimpse of your overall health. Many diseases show early signs in the eyes, including cardiovascular health and diabetes. Following your eye examination, the optometrist will advise you of your own specific requirements.
Tailor Made Lenses
Not all lenses are the same. Getting the right lenses is essential and should be your first consideration when choosing glasses. Advanced technology allows us to customise your lenses to give enhanced clarity and comfort. Nautilus is our very latest piece of Virtual Reality technology from one of our lens companies Essilor.
Contact Lenses
Whether you're active, sporting or simply feel like refining your personal look, contact lenses offer an exceptional, practical alternative. We have the ranges and the knowledge to help you make exactly the right selection for you. When you join one of our Contact Lens direct debit plans, you don't just get the latest lenses you also benefit from our 'peace of mind' aftercare plan.
Enhanced Eye Care
No two eyes are the same and there is no such thing as a standard patient. Eye examinations should be tailored for the individual and additional tests may be required. We have invested heavily in new technology at Firstsight Opticians because you sight comes first. OCT provides an advanced scan of different structures within the eye not normally visible.
Home Visits
If you are no longer able to attend the practice due to disability or illness we can arrange to visit you in your home. All eye examinations are FREE of charge in Scotland. We will bring all the equipment we require to carry out the examination in your home. We will ask you questions about your general health, your vision and discuss any problems you are having with your vision.
Emergency Eye Care
There are many eye conditions that can be treated in our practices with appropriate medication prescribed by our independently qualified prescribing optometrists. Mrs Pauline MacEwen, Mr Neil MacEwen, Ms Lynsey Cowan and Mrs Wendy Adam all hold this additional qualification, which only 1 in 10 optometrists currently hold.
