Burnside McPhee Opticians are well established optometrists in the south side of Glasgow in Battlefield and Clarkston. We always put quality first and have invested in the most advanced eye testing equipment available. Both our practices offer a friendly, comfortable environment and welcoming staff.

We are completely independent, so are able to offer a very wide range of spectacle frames and lenses, which we believe is more extensive and better value than many multiple groups. We have over 30 years of experience in fitting all types of contact lenses including the more complex designs. All our spectacle lenses are made to order to ensure that each individual patient gets the best bespoke solution for their needs.
Services
This means that we are able to diagnose, manage and treat anterior eye problems, prescribing as required. The question we always ask ourselves when faced with the range of options available for our patients is "What would I do for myself, given all the possibilities?" This allows us to be completly honest about the best solution(s) available.
All our spectacle lenses are made to order to ensure that each individual patient gets the best bespoke solution for their needs. Of course we don't make specs in an hour - we would rather leave that to the big chains. We prefer to use one of our specialist glazing workshops to produce the best job possible.
At Burnside McPhee, we like to stock huge range of frames and believe we have a larger range than other optical outlets, with no duplicates on display. This allows us to offer a great selection to our patients. Whether you want a pair of top designer glasses or a spare pair, we will have something just right for you.
There are many more people wearing contact lenses than ever before. In part, this is due to the huge range of products available.

As independent optometrists, Burnside McPhee can advise freely on the best contact lenses for any individual, with no hidden deals to use a particular product or brand, allowing us to offer the likes of Johnston & Johnston and their full range of Acuvue lenses, Cooprvision, Ciba, Bausch& Lomb, Scotlens and Cantor & Nissel.We can advise on all types of contact lens, from gas permeable to dailies.
Every optometric practice in the country has to have a minimum level of equipment, but we consider it very important to do more than the basics and have invested to ensure that we offer a bespoke service to all of our patients. For example, only a very small number of opticians have remote controlled refractor heads connected to compact auto refractors.

Fantastic service! I have a difficult prescription and the folk at the Battlefield branch were extremely patient with me, changing the lenses (at no extra cost) to get me the best possible vision. WIll be returning for future checks and glasses (they have a great range).

Have been using this optician since they opened over 30 year ago. Would not go anywhere else. Every member of staff is friendly and very helpful. The quality of service is second to none and the depth and range of knowledge of the opticians exceptional

Excellent treatment, goes the extra mile to get to the bottom of any vision related issues such as migraine, and to treat in an ongoing and personal way. This is way beyond the service provided by the big names. There is a full range of prices and I have had some good bargains for glasses. I would not hesitate to recommend.
