Cameron Optometry
Always so reassuring. I leave confident that I have received the highest level of care from optometrists who know their stuff. We are an award-winning practice providing the most comprehensive eye care in Edinburgh. A vastly experienced, friendly team, of optometrists, with world-leading technology at our fingertips.

We have specialist experience in contact lenses for complex conditions and for children. Home to the Frame Room, Edinburgh's leading independent eyewear boutique, we stock a select range of artisan brands that you won't find anywhere else in the city. Often when children are reluctant readers, it is that they find reading uncomfortable, perhaps experiencing the print moving or jumping around the page or appearing blurred.

Cameron Optometry is one of Scotland's leading eye care specialists. We pride ourselves on providing the most comprehensive eye care available in the UK. We are able to do this as we use the most up-to-date, market-leading technology coupled with this, our optometrists are some of Scotland's most experienced, highly qualified and awarded in the industry.
The practice was established in 1970 and has grown steadily over the years, retaining a strong focus on specialist expertise, delivering the highest standard in eye care available in the area. One of the early pioneers of Edinburgh's optics scene, W M McGrath, started a business on Edinburgh's Queensferry Street, less than a mile from where the practice is located now.
Looking after your vision matters. It's not just about what your eyes can see, but 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. When you visit you'll receive a whole range of the very latest eye health examinations designed to spot the widest variety of conditions.
Myopia Management is a way to slow the progression of a child's short-sightedness using specialist contact lenses or spectacle lenses. Cameron Optometry has many years experience in this area and seen some impressive results. Myopia is the medical term for short-sightedness, when the eyeball is too long or too powerful, causing objects in the distance to look blurred.
At the Frame Room we provide specialist guidance to ensure selecting frames is a stress-free experience. Selecting frames for you to try based on your prescription, taste, lifestyle and budget. Sunglasses brands include the polarised specialist Maui Jim, celeb-favourite Finlay & Co, and retro, fashion-forward Vysen.

I have been a client of Cameron Optometry for almost 50 years. I am now in my early 70’s and my corrected vision is excellent. I am a painter and a birdwatcher and I am also very deaf so my eyesight is very precious.
I have always felt that the team working here have taken great care to optimise my chances of seeing well.
Over fifty years I have seen steady progress in the technology available to diagnose eye problems. Not only have this firm always been in the forefront but they always explained the processes really well and also any choices available. Over the fifty years I have seen only

The level of care and expertise I have experienced here has been invaluable to my recovery from an accident leaving me blind in one eye. I can be a very anxious client and all the opticians here are very patient and understanding of my specific needs and worries and I am always put at ease and leave reassured. Very thankful for all their support and would recommend highly - especially if you find eye examinations daunting and difficult.

Extremely professional, friendly, and knowledgeable staff who go out of their way to put you at ease.
Most comfortable waiting room I've ever been in, and the staff were kind enough to offer me a coffee, which was a nice touch.
I've got a couple of very stylish frames from them, and will be coming back for more!

The cafe and attention is infinitely superior to the chain opticians I've used in the past. I've suffered 2 corneal abrasions recently and Claire looked after me so well I just love her! The ladies who help with glasses and lenses are wonderful too. Big shout out for Lesley and Gillian. Thanks
