At Brown Opticians we truly are a family run business, with a strong bias on clinical excellence and fantastic service with fabulous products carefully selected to meet individual needs. We take some time to get to know both new and existing clients so we can better understand their visual requirements allowing us to provide the best visual solutions.

We are a traditional, independent practice, passionate about improving the eye health of our patients and ensuring that they receive the highest level of care. We refuse to compromise time with our patients and the quality of our products to compete with those that do. Graeme began his career in optics after graduating in 1996.
Services
20 million British people risk avoidable sight loss because they fail to have regular sight tests. Your vision is important, so your eyes deserve to be looked after by trusted experts. Here at Brown Opticians we invest in the very latest consulting room and dispensing technology which allows us to go the extra mile for our patients.
Eye care for children is often overlooked unless there is an obvious issue. Your child's formative years are when most of their visual development takes place, so it's important to identify and treat any eye sight issues as early as possible. Eye examinations are very important to ensure normal vision development and confirm that children have the vision skills required for school work and other activities.
The Optomap Retinal Exam provides a panoramic view of the back of a person's eye (retina). The view provided by the Optomap displays over 80% of the retina in one panoramic image. Thus it provides a far wider scope of your retina in much greater detail than other 'retinal camera' equipment commonly used by other high street opticians, which only capture 15% of the retina.
OCT is a new imaging technique that offer a 'high-definition' detailed cross-sectional image of the back of the eye. It works in a similar way to ultrasound and is an extremely advanced health check for people of all ages. It doesn't just scan the back of your eye, but sees under the retina to parts that cannot be seen by ordinary examination.
SEIKO Optical is a world leader in the design and manufacture of technologically advanced lens materials and delivers the style, comfort and quality that you would expect from an innovative global brand. Seiko single vision lenses are manufactured to the highest quality standards in the industry. We offer lenses in every material: 1.50, polycarbonate, Trivex, 1.60, 1.67 and 1.74, thus suiting all patients prescriptions and requirements.

Honestly must admit I was pretty disappointed and unhappy with the overall experience I had here. I originally visited in December as I had issues with my eyes zooming in and out of focus. The first optician I saw said I needed a new prescription and had dry eyes causing it: which surely would be causing blurryness, not an issue with my lens focusing. I also asked about snowy vision but this was largely ignored too. After getting my new glasses, I could not see through them and had to go back. I essentially paid £70 to not have my glasses for a couple weeks and then have my original prescription

I have been going to the Cardonald branch for years. I can honestly not praise the staff enough. Graeme is my optician and I have to go for regular checkups out with the normal checks. He always takes the time to have a chat and make sure you are well. Jennifer, Stacey, Jocelyn and Mary are the girls that you meet upon entering the practise and they are all lovely. Very attentive and always up for a blether whilst maintaining a professional manner. Keep up the good work. A big thumbs up for everyone there🙂

Just thought I should take little time to write a small review to acknowledge the wonderful service and treatment I received at Browns Opticians, Cardonald. The care and courtesy throughout my treatment was exceptional, from my eye examination which was thorough and expertly carried out, through to the choosing and collecting of my glasses. I found the staff to be helpful, caring and exceedingly pleasant. Perhaps unique to Browns Opticians I received a call several weeks later to inquire if I was satisfied with my glasses, which of course I was. Many thanks for the care and consideration I received
