Simmons Optometrists has been in Oakham since 1974, but it hasn't always been as it is today, this is the story of how it started, grew and became an important part of this wonderful corner of England. Richard Simmons had qualified in 1965, working in Clapham and several London based practices of Hudson Verity, before at his request, and on getting married to Fay, he moved to their Ipswich branch.
Our optometrists and dispensers are trained to the highest standards, to ensure your eyes receive the best attention possible. We have the most up to date equipment available giving you a supreme clinical experience. Our staff are on hand to help you with all of your eye-care needs. We are always here to help - please feel free to contact us at any time.
A comprehensive eye examination forms the basis of everything we do at Simmons Optometrists. It not only checks that your vision is at its best but can also flag up general health conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, as well as eye conditions, such as glaucoma, cataract and macular degeneration.
Your eyes are an important part of your health. There are many things you can do to keep them healthy and make sure you are seeing your best. Follow these simple steps for maintaining healthy eyes well into your golden years. Have a comprehensive dilated eye exam. You might think your vision is fine or that your eyes are healthy, but visiting your eye care professional for a comprehensive dilated eye exam is the only way to really be sure.
When it's time for a new pair of glasses, we will help you find the right lens for your eyes and the most flattering frame for your face. We stock over 800 frames ranging from classic to modern styles, and from minimal rimless to the very latest bold plastic shapes and colours. All our frames meet our exacting standards for both quality and style.

Fantastic experience that you won't get at cheaper High Street opticians. Thorough eye health check and glasses/contact lense options explained very well. Particularly grateful to Nathan who helped me chose the right frames and was extremely knowledgeable with all my many follow up questions and calls about varifocals.

Kept waiting for my appointment for 20 mins. no one offered any reason or apology, until I asked. Was told oh, yes sorry do you have something else to be doing. No apology until I cancelled and said I would not be re booking with them. very poor customer service.

Every encounter I have had with Simmons has be great. The staff are very friendly, every eye test I have had has been very straightforward and I have been very satisfied with the frames I have received and the speed at which I received them. Best opticians in the area without a doubt.
