Our comprehensive 30-minute eye examinations utilise advanced diagnostic technology to assess visual acuity and detect potential eye health issues. Qualified optometrists perform thorough assessments including digital retinal photography, which captures detailed images of the eye's posterior structures. The examination process includes detailed explanations of results and recommendations, with particular attention to conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Patients receive professional advice on ongoing eye care requirements following each assessment.
Glasses
We offer an extensive selection of designer glasses frames from leading brands including Silhouette, Dunelm, and Jaguar Eyewear. Our optical specialists assist with frame selection based on facial features, prescription requirements, and lifestyle needs. All frames include standard single vision lenses in the price, with premium options available for varifocal, bifocal, and specialist prescriptions.

The staff here are really amazing, Manir the Optician was excellent explaining all of the examinations before he performed them and Nita spent ages with me trying to find my dream frames. I can highly recommend Vision Care in all aspects of their service

The customer service was outstandingly top class. A lovely lady, Nita helped me with two sets of glasses. My husband was even impressed by the level of understanding and compassion given to us. Nita spent quality time on us, in order to get me the right frames and lenses. We really can't commend the service enough, and the optician that did the test was thorough too. He explained any questions I had in depth, as also did Nita. She has a lot of expertise knowledge on the products and customer care and interpersonal communication was brilliant. In all the years Ive had glasses, I've never come across
