Private frames from £9.95

Want your own frame to have new lenses?

No problem. We are happy to glaze your

own frame and we don’t charge extra to do this.

We do repairs. Some repairs are done on the premises, others we can send away from you. Average away time is 3 days.

If your specs need adjusting we can do that for you, we don’t charge for an adjustment.

We do free contact lens trials. See our contact lens page for more details. We don’t tie you into contracts, nor do we charge yearly fitting fees.

We do private and NHS tests, and it’s the same test whichever. See our eligibility page to see if you can have a test paid for by the NHS.

We have a range of free frames for those eligible for the NHS voucher.

Being independent means we have a world of suppliers to choose from to give you a wide choice of products.

We’re friendly, and pride ourselves on our personal service.

We take our time with you - from our full half hour test through to choosing your specs, there’s no rush.
