Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations use advanced diagnostic technology to assess vision and detect eye conditions. The 30-40 minute tests check for glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration while determining prescription needs. Personalised assessments consider lifestyle factors and visual requirements for glasses, contact lenses, or treatment plans.
Contact Lenses
We provide professional contact lens fittings and aftercare services. Our range includes daily disposables, monthly lenses, and specialist options for astigmatism and presbyopia. Expert guidance ensures comfortable wear and proper maintenance, with trial periods available for new users and regular check-ups for existing wearers.
Prescription Sunglasses
Our prescription sunglasses combine UV protection with vision correction. Available with polarised or transition lenses, they reduce glare and enhance visual comfort. We offer designer frames from brands like Ray-Ban and Oakley, ensuring both style and functionality for outdoor activities and daily wear.

A very good experience. Came with quite a complicated issue that other opticians had failed terribly to solve. Although costing a bit more, the advice, service and speed of production was second to none! Would highly recommend.....Don't waste your time with spec savers or vision express......many thanks for all your help

Personalised and professional service from a highly qualified team.
Ive been wearing glasses since I was 3. Yet even though my prescription is currently the worst its been, thanks to G&H, I now have the best sight ive ever experienced!
Im an extremely fussy customer, yet there was nothing I was left unsatisfied with. (This is quite an achievement)
There is very little they dont know about or can help with. On top of that their Covid safety standards are better than any shop ive been in to date. Do yourself a favour and get down there or just ring them up. Its not an overstatement to say that

I have been a customer of G&H since I was 4/5 years old and I'm 41 now. I have never gone elsewhere and as long as they or I am around I wouldn't. The service has always been absolutely exceptional. The staff take time to get to know you and your requirements. I have literally never had a bad experience here and would recommend them to anyone. They always go the extra mile and nothing is too much trouble.
