Services
Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations use advanced diagnostic equipment to assess vision quality and eye health. These tests help detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. Regular check-ups ensure optimal vision correction and long-term ocular health monitoring for all ages.
Contact Lenses
We provide custom contact lens fittings for various vision needs including astigmatism and presbyopia. Our specialists help select comfortable, durable lenses tailored to individual lifestyles. From daily disposables to specialist rigid gas permeable lenses, we ensure optimal visual clarity and eye health.
Dry Eye Clinic
Our dedicated dry eye clinic offers advanced treatments for chronic ocular discomfort. Using Blephex technology and punctal plugs, we address underlying causes of dryness and irritation. Personalised management plans help patients achieve lasting relief and improved tear film stability.
Orthokeratology
This non-surgical treatment uses specially designed contact lenses worn overnight to reshape the cornea. It effectively corrects myopia and slows progression in children. Our certified specialists provide precise fitting and ongoing monitoring for safe, reversible vision improvement.
Sustainable Eyewear
We offer frames made from recycled and ethically sourced materials without compromising style or quality. Our collections feature British-made designs and biodegradable acetate options. This commitment to sustainability ensures environmentally responsible vision solutions for conscious consumers.

Today was my first visit to Reynolds and I have to say it was an absolute pleasure. Marcus Slater was so professional in everything he did. Nothing was too much trouble and he was so thorough and explained it all in detail. The staff were so pleasant and welcoming in what must be very trying times.Thank you so much for making my visit a memorable one.
