Recognised for clinical excellence by the association of optometrists in the practice of the year awards 2020 we provide the most comprehensive eye care in Shropshire. A vastly experienced, friendly team of optometrists with world-leading technology at our fingertips. Our optometrists have additional qualifications that go beyond the average high street practice.

Home to the frame room, we stock a range of unique eyewear that are found in only a handful of opticians in the country. I hate eye tests, but staff here made me feel so at ease from the moment I walked through the door. I left knowing I made the right choice for change. I was diagnosed as having a corneal disease called kerataconus some five years ago.
Services
From the moment you walk into our warm and friendly practice you will see that we are not like other opticians. As a practice we try to distance ourselves from the normal run of the mill experience you get from visiting an Opticians. One of the first things you will notice, is that unlike conventional opticians that from the outset bombard you with racks and racks of spectacle frames, we like to do things a little differently.
The staff are all very supportive and will ALWAYS go the extra mile to ensure that you are totally happy with your prescription and frames. When there has been a problem, they rectify it as fast as they are able. I have never been disappointed with the service I have received! Having been to several different opticians over the years I became disillusioned with the quality of service and care I received.
An eye examination is not just about what your eyes can see, but just as importantly what we can see in your eyes. Getting your prescription right is important, but regular examinations can also pick up signs of potentially serious conditions. We use the very latest cutting edge technology to deliver one of the most enhanced eye examinations possible.
Each aspect of the comprehensive eye examination that we provide is designed to give us essential information regarding your vision and eye health. We provide a comprehensive eye examination as standard to include OCT- a three-dimensional scan of your retina as well as ultra-wide field retinal scanning designed to detect problems that cannot be seen with standard examination techniques.
Even if you don't think your child needs an eye examination, we perform essential eye health tests designed to spot the widest variety of conditions. The process is tailored to the age of your child, providing them with a fun, interactive experience and providing you with peace of mind. We have frames to suit all ages and tastes, from the flourishing fashionista to the sporty teen and from the young princess to the aspiring superhero.

We have tried so many high street opticians for our son who is 7, and has verbal dyspraxia a profound speech disorder. Harry is not able to verbalise what he can see on a standard sight test chart. We saw Jenny, and she used the same techniques to test our son as they used at the paediatric eye clinic at the hospital - she was brilliant with him. It was very relaxed we didn’t feel rushed. It’s also very quiet in the practice so not too many distractions for him. After the examination Jenny explained all the different lens options clearly without any hard selling. We were really impressed as

I could not have gone anywhere better. The Irish woman who did the examination was extremely pleasant and very professional and I felt she really had my interests at heart. A really good and professional service.

I've been with this practice for nearly twenty years, and my wider family have been registered here since the 1980s. They've never been anything other than fantastic. Gareth and Jenny are highly experienced, and the place is marked out generally by its friendliness. There's a real family feel, and everyone goes out of their way to be helpful. Worth being shortsighted for.

I would thoroughly recommend Gareth Hardcastle and the staff at Shrewsbury Optometry. He was totally professional yet friendly and down to earth. I have learned so much about my eye health and vision and was amazed at how reasonably priced it was.
I only wish I had gone there sooner.
Many thanks.
