When you come for your eye examination please bring with you any glasses that you wear, the names of any tablets or medicines you are taking and the name of your General Practitioner. During your appointment we will discuss whether you have specific problems with your eyes or vision.
Special demands on your eyes created by work and hobbies may also need to be addressed and we will also want to know about your general health and the health of your family, including if someone in your family has suffered eye conditions, such as glaucoma, cataracts or macula degeneration.

At Paul Harries Opticians we have invested in Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) because we believe in using the best, most up-to-date technology to help detect eye conditions as early as possible. Optical Coherence Tomography is a non-invasive technology used for imaging the retina - the multi-layered sensory tissue lining the back of the eye.
At Paul Harries Opticians our digital imaging system allows us to keep digital photographic records showing the detail of the both the anterior portion and interior of the eye. This allows a thorough analysis to be undertaken to check everything is normal.
We have a digital camera attached to the Slitlamp Biomicroscope in the consulting room which allows us to record detailed anterior eye images and our digital retinal camera allows us to record detailed images from the back of the eye.These images are then stored as part of your clinical records, enabling a comparison to be made at later follow up visits.

Exceptional Independent Optician - Very Highly Recommend.
Absolutely spec-tacular service from this opticians. Optician Paul is exceptionally warm, accommodating and thorough. I went here to be assessed for new colorimetry/cerium lenses due to having Meares-Irlen Syndrome and wishing to try this alternate method of tinting. Paul was very thorough in checking my prescription as well as talking me through the process then of the colorimetry assessment, and made sure that everything was spot on for me as someone whose Irlens presents as extreme light sensitivity.
Margaret, the manager, was so helpful

Two of my children have colour optometry for their dyslexia with Paul. Service is first class from start to finish and the difference in their reading is marked. Both of them have gained a lot of confidence through having coloured glasses and their teachers can tell when they aren't wearing them. Fantastic to find this service in Carmarthen

I have been using Paul Harries Opticians for several years after being a regular at a big high Street chain.
From the beginning I was struck by the depth of knowledge, skill, care and attention shown to their customers to enable the best possible outcome for our needs. I have also enjoyed the huge range of frames available, the helpful Eye Care Plan and - best of all - my colourimetry glasses! As someone who is dyslexic I find these to be invaluable! I appreciate the care that Paul takes over getting them just right so that I can read and write with confidence and with much greater comfort and

When my daughter went to Paul Harries for help, he just went with the hospitals prescription without question even though it differed widely from his. Hospitals don't always get it right.
There should never be a situation where a young girl goes into an optician for help, pays hundreds of pounds for glasses and finds that her vision is actually worse.
Professional accountability and ethical responsibility should come first not "it was the hospital not me". It may be the service you provide Paul Harries, but not one I expect.
