In the front room of a normal house in Bream David Kear Opticians was born. Since the beginning, in 1962, patient care has been the focus of our business. We value clinical expertise and how it can be applied to best serve each individual patient. We also believe in good value so you will feel happy to continue your relationship with us for years to come.
Our clinicians have no sales targets and are not tied to specific manufacturers freeing them from the restrictions experienced by high street chains. Whatever your visual requirement, spectacles or contact lenses, whether an NHS or Private patient, we believe you will be well looked after at any of our three locations.

Services
Founded by David Kear in the early 1960s, the practice has grown from one location to three. Based in the three market towns of Cinderford, Coleford and Lydney we aim to serve all members of our community and the surrounding area. We offer economy and high end designer eyewear and provide impartial advice concerning the most up to date lens options.
Our Cinderford practice has two consultation rooms on the first floor. A stair lift is provided, but examinations can take place on the ground floor when necessary. Spectacle dispensing and collection take place in a dedicated ground floor area. Fundus photography is available at this location and patients are welcome to undergo Optomap and OCT scanning in our Lydney location if required.

Excellent service and really friendly helpful staff. Both myself and my partner are really pleased with the glasses recently purchased. Always a good thorough eye test from the opticians and a speedy service when ordering new glasses. We both recommend David Kears...a really friendly professional opticians service.

Report
My father recently went to hospital for cataract surgery. During treatment the surgeon noticed he had a long term retinal tear which should have been noticed during a regular eye examination. In fact, he was appalled that it wasn't noticed. He had to carry out emergency surgery to prevent detached retina.
