Advances in technology means contact lenses are now more comfortable and wearable than ever before. As a result, almost all prescriptions can be corrected, including multifocals. Contact lenses are a fantastic alternative to glasses, offering patients a completely new look and greater freedom. It's amazing how many people rule themselves out of wearing lenses because of an unsuitable prescription.

I was looking for another optician and it was suggested I should try Simpsons in Muirhead. Once lockdown eased I made an appointment for an eye test ,the test showed that I had cataracts in both eyes and another appointment was made for further tests the next day and the optician referred me to Gartnavel Hospital which I attended 4 weeks later for an assessment and 4 weeks later I had the cataract in my right eye removed and a lens fitted ,the next day on removing the dressings I could see better than I had in years both distance and reading.Roll on 4 weeks and I have just been back in for a test

Today I had the misfortune to get some metal particles in my eye and on the advice of Hairmyers hospital in East Kilbride was told to go to A&E or your local optician....The thought of going to A&E was off putting & so I contacted Simpson’s my local optician who thankfully advised they would try & fit me in between appointments....This I duly did & was seen by Sandy who provided excellent care & attention to my problem.
I felt compelled to write this review for two reasons:-
1....Patronising your local optometrist as I have done for many years ( more than I care to remember) is well worth it
