Urquhart Opticians: Opticians & Hearing Care Specialist
At Urquharts we offer expert eyecare in a relaxed and contemporary environment, with our clients' needs at the heart of everything we do. We specialise in independent eyewear; alongside a personal service you can always rely on. We pride ourselves on providing the very best care, having invested in the most innovative technology and equipment to provide our Premium Eye Examination.

Overall experience was great from start to finish. Was made to feel at ease from the beginning of the exam and felt like I was paid attention to throughout the full appointment- wasn't made to feel rushed. I visited Urquharts in Ayr last week to get my 5 year old his first pair of glasses. I was impressed at the huge choice of kids glasses they had and Caroline was great at helping us select the right ones for him.

Was able to see an optician on the day I requested an appointment as I had conjunctivitis. Examination was very thorough and I was prescribed a gel which has worked well. Also given a return appointment to check that the infection had cleared up properly. Great service.

Had a very thorough eye test, recently, conducted by Alistair. It was informative and enjoyable but it was also reassuring as I had a specific and complex enquiry based on my lens replacement op a few years back. Alistair had researched the issue and had spoken with a consultant eye surgeon, a top man in his field. I was eminently satisfied with the information I received and grateful for Alistair's patience! Reception staff were equally welcoming and professional and all Covid regulations were followed to the letter. Without doubt I consider Urquhart's to be a first class optician's and would

Great service from start to finish .
Lovely practice , welcoming staff and first class advice and service from Alistair .
Alistairs advice on cataract surgery has resulted in me going from a highly myopic prescription to requiring no prescription for reading or distance ! Lens and spectacle free for the first time in over 40 yrs ! Life changing !!
Would highly recommend Urquharts !

Very positive experience. Optician was very thorough and explained his findings throughout the examination. He also advised that I can receive the eye drops I have been using (and paying for) on prescription and wrote to my GP to arrange this. I am delighted.
