Cottam and Glaister Optometrists is an independent practice which has been trusted with the eye care of St Annes since the 1920s. The practice has advanced greatly in that time, always ahead of the curve on technology and style. We focus our efforts on keeping people's eyes healthy and making sure they feel great in their eyewear.
This has given us a loyal clientele that keep coming back year after year. I had a fantastic experience the care and professionalism of the staff is exceptional. Good range of frames to choose from. Will be recommending to my family at friends to book in to see our optician as they were very knowledgeable and had a wonderful caring manner.

If you want someone you can trust with your eyes, you're in the right place. Your eye health is our top priority, so we've invested in the most advanced equipment to help us detect eye problems before they become a problem to you. Testing for all eye diseases and abnormalities e.g glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration.
We're always learning new things. Our optometrists keep up-to-date with advances in eye care and technology. This means manufacturers often give us new products for you to try before they become available elsewhere. 4. We're independent. This means we can recommend any product we think best for you without being restricted or pressured by a 'head office'.
This is a very specialised instrument which reveals more about your retina and optic nerve than usual. We tend to recommend OCT if you or a family member has glaucoma or macular degeneration (AMD) or if we see something unusual during your eye examination. The OCT is a painless scan which shows the retina in cross-section (sliced through) so the optometrist can see the retina's layers and what lies underneath.
A free upgrade on any Zeiss Varifocal to The Zeiss Photofusion material. The self-tinting lenses which react very fast and offer excellent vision in all light conditions. Saving you up to 80.00 per pair. At Cottam and Glaister, we are a Zeiss Relaxed Vision Centre. Although we can do any brand of spectacle lenses, we find Zeiss fits well with our practice ethos of good quality products at the right price.

Fantastic every visit. All staff are incredibly helpful, friendly & professional.
Recently took my mum for an appointment and as ever, everything provided was first rate. Parents have used them for many years & have always been delighted with them.
I'll be switching to them myself now too. Highly recommend.

Mr. Cottam was highly recommended to me a friend who works in eye clinics. That was 23 years ago and the family now insist on seeing only him! He was brilliant when my children were small - gave excellent advice and care to my son especially which means his eyesight / muscles are much better in adulthood. Now as adults themselves they too return. Service is fantastic and the team, especially Nicky Hutchison, are knowledgeable, patient, helpful and friendly. 10/10.

Have been going to this opticians for many years, the service has always been first class, brilliant staff and very thorough eye examination,. The glassesI have had over the years have been excellent and even though I have to travel from Preston would not go anywhere else. Highly recommended for all aspects of eye care. Marianne Perkins

Excellent service. Twice in the past few months they have quicky diagnosed issues with my eye that enabled me to get urgent treatment which would prevent more serious issues. Everyone is friendly, professional and very good at what they do. We first used Cottam and Glaister over 35 years ago, based on a personal recommendation. We have used them ever since and they now look after my whole family, and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Mr Cottam of Cottam & Glaister is by far the best optometrist I have ever been examined by in the 50 years I have had eye examinations. He has a first class professional, cheerful and empathetic team who make a visit to the opticians a relaxed and pleasant experience. Cottam and Glaister's charges are surprisingly inexpensive and affordable notwithstanding their gold standard service and appearance.

I've got to say that having used Cottam & Glaister Optometrists since moving to Lytham St Annes the service provided has been second to none. From the initial eye test to the fitting of my glasses the service provided was excellent, polite staff, courteous and understanding of my needs. On the occasions I had to visit the company after collecting my glasses the continuing customer service has been outstanding.
Thank You. :-)
