The service i have received over the last 12 years from Arif and his team has been fantastic. From the level of technical detail and expertise. I just wanted to send a quick note to thank you again for the great service that you always provide. My company provides free eye tests through its ch. Straightforward, friendly and quick service as I transfer to contacts after 12 years of glasses.
Book Consultation Now In your Dry Eye Treatment consultation, the optician combines with your eye health history and information about your work and lifestyle to assess the underlying cause of dry eye syndrome. Depending on the underlying cause, the optician has a range of treatment options available.
After your clinical consultation, we may recommend an opthalmic lens to improve your visual comfort, particularly at work where visual demands are often most heavy.

I have been with Contact Opticians for over 20 years. The knowledge and personable service they offer is second to none. If you are going to trust someone with your sight then you need to know it comes sincerely and not as a sales pitch. Much preferred for me than what you would receive from the main chains.

I've been to lots of opticians over the years and this place is by far the best. The eye test especially is really thorough. I've had a few concerns with my eyes recently, and the optician took the time to answer all of my questions and run additional tests. If you care about your eyes and the quality of the treatment you get - I would go here!

I've been using contact lenses for over 25 years and this place was by far the best experience of visiting an optician. The new contact lenses prescription has literally changed my sight, all my geeky questions were answered in detail but also accessibly to non-specialist and the new frame was selected by someone with both taste and technical knowledge. Visiting this place is like going to a bespoke tailor as opposed to buying off the rack.

I've been going to Eye Contact for over 10 years now and the team there are fantastic. I've had a few problems with my eyes & the support I've received has been fantastic. I've been back time & again for appointments and never felt like a bother. Their professionalism is top and I cannot recommend this practice any higher. The optician, Arif, especially, is absolutely wonderful. He is always going on courses and learning new things which improves his knowledge and keeps the practice cutting edge and he stays on top of things. Your eyes are very valuable and you should go somewhere that is trustworthy

This is the best optician I have ever been too! Finally, my contact lenses work as well as my glasses and I can enjoy wearing them without the fear of my sight getting blurry! I had tried about 5 different prescriptions at the big chains. The service was excellent and you can tell that they really care in giving you advice!
