Our eye examination room has modern, up to the minute eye care facilities. Our qualified optometrists and dispensing opticians have many combined years of experience in their field, and make every effort to ensure that their patients are at ease during their eye test and examination. We offer a standard sight test to check both your vision and examine the health of your eyes.
Help with the cost of eye examinations and spectacles is available for many patients. We've set out below the criteria set by the NHS and, where applicable the help you will get towards the cost of spectacles at EyeCare Opticians. Categories marked ** are also eligible for free or reduced price spectacles or contact lenses.
Choosing your new frames is something that you either love or hate. Whichever it is we have friendly, professional staff to advise and guide you in your selection. They will take as much time as you need and you won't feel as though you are on a production line.

Have you ever thought about contact lenses? They offer a convenient alternative to glasses for many of our patients. Contact lenses often appeal to people who want to use them for sport, or for those who just prefer how they look without glasses.

Other benefits include not having to swap between prescription glasses and sunglasses in sunny conditions, driving in the dark without experiencing the inevitable glare of headlights and no interrupted vision when walking in the rain!There are a number of contact lens options available and we can offer advice on the best choice suitable for your needs and lifestyle.

Me and My Partner both had our eye tests today by Mr Patel. What a lovely guy and a true professional. He is the perfect example of an outstanding optician. He cares about his client's, is informative and clearly very passionate about his work. I will be recommending him to everyone I know. Thanks again. Ross

I have had my eyesight looked after by Peter Gerber for more than thirty years. He originally diagnosed my glaucoma and the fact that my eyes don't actually work together. Other (well known high St) opticians have prescribed glasses which make me ill. Not Peter. He has also, on a number of occasions, intervened when the, 'Glaucoma, community monitoring (private) Company',' (which the NHS farmed out to) have said they do not want to see me for six months, even though my eye pressure is 30!!!!!!!!!!. With no change of medication!!! Without Peter's constant vigilance, I truly believe my glaucoma would

I visited today for an eye test and just wanted to write a review to say how impressed I was with my care. From being greeted at the door with a friendly smile I felt listened to and looked after. In the past having had tests elsewhere and come away feeling like i was just a number in a production line of appointments, it was so refreshing to be able to talk to Pratik about the problems I have been having and feeling like I was listened to. My test was very thorough, I didn't feel rushed and would not hesitate to recommend them to friends and family. Thankyou .

I can't praise the care and professionalism provided by Peter Gerber and his team enough, With a challenging prescription as I have, they always go the extra mile to ensure I get the best vision possible with the health of my eyes always at the forefront. I would recommend this practice without hesitation.

Well I don't know where Mr Malcolm went, but it couldn't have been these guys. They are extremely friendly and helpful. Ignore his comments totally.
