Services
An optometrist examines eyes, tests sight and prescribes spectacles or contact lenses for those who need them. They also fit spectacles or contact lenses, give advice on visual problems and detect any ocular disease or abnormality, referring the patient to a medical practitioner if necessary. Once qualified, optometrists can undertake further training to specialise in certain eye treatment by therapeutic drugs.
You're registered as partially sighted (sight impaired) or blind (severely sight impaired). You're 40 or over, and your mother, father, brother, sister, son or daughter has been diagnosed with glaucoma. You're eligible for an NHS complex lens voucher - your optometrist (optician) can advise you about your entitlement.
Newer silicone-based lenses now offer more comfort and longer wearing times than conventional lenses, with prices from 10 per month. Daily disposable lenses start from 19.99 for 30 pairs. Ideal for occasional wear for sports or socially, they are also great for everyday wear as no lens cleaning is needed.
Designer glasses cost from 99, with two pairs from 125. We offer leading brands including Gucci, Marc Jacobs, Police, Lipsy, Religion, Jaguar and Cazal. In addition, we are stockists of Superlite rimless glasses, and we also have sports glasses in stock, including prescription swimming goggles. We are Seiko lens specialists and recomend Seiko lenses whenever a premium lens is required.
We provide a sight test at home service. If you are aged 60 or over and are unable to go out without help or assistance, you are entitled to an eye test in the comfort of your own home and this is provided free of charge under the NHS. At Black's Opticians, this service is always provided by Philip Hogg, so you will always see the same optician.
