We're unique! An independent & family owned Specialist Practice like no other in the Country. Established in 1973, unlike others, we're dedicated to Contact Lenses. Most patients only discover how different we are to 'High Street Optical Shops' by recommendation or by referral from their own non specialist Optician!

 

CONTACT LENSES CAN & WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

 

Just imagine throwing away your glasses forever - Contact Lenses, were first fitted in 1887 and can now correct virtually any error of vision - astigmatism, bifocals, even varifocals, all so safe and comfortable that you can wear them daily or continuously, day and night for anything up to 30 days - how's that for simplicity? Contacts give better vision, boost confidence and improve appearance - they're a virtual necessity for all sports persons - whether active bodily contact sports such as rugby or even more sedate ones like golf.   CONTACTS REIGN SUPREME!

WHY ARE WE DIFFERENT?  

Ordinary Opticians usually only fit a few ‘one size’ off the shelf ‘branded soft lenses’ which simply don’t suit every one. Many don't even have the experience to fit custom designed Rigid Lenses.

Why we're different is because, as dedicated SPECIALISTS, we have the skills and experience to custom design and individually craft lenses to fit virtually any eye without all the compromises so often associated with ‘one fit’ mass produced lenses.

Between our 3 qualified practitioners we have an accumalated 90 years of experience in designing and fitting specialist lenses!

JUST AS AN 'EYE OPENER', IF YOU CLICK HERE YOU'LL FIND A LIST OF THE BRANDED LENSES WE FIT! 

TO FIT THE MOST COMPLEX EYES, OVER 50% OF OUR LENSES ARE INDIVIDUALLY HAND MADE FROM DOZENS OF DIFFERENT SOFT, RIGID & FLEXIBLE PLASTICS.

IT'S OUR SKILLS IN CUSTOM DESIGNING LENSES WHICH ALLOW US TO FIT EYES WITH UP 30 Dioptres OF SPHERICAL ERROR  & 12 Dioptres of ASTIGMATISM - OUR LENSES CAN ALSO BE MADE IN BIFOCAL OR VARIFOCAL FORMS SO NO NEED FOR READING GLASSES EITHER!

WITH OUR MOST ADVANCED MATERIALS LENSES CAN EVEN BE SLEPT IN WITH SAFETY & COMFORT FOR UP TO 30 DAYS!

Welcome to our Specialist Contact Lens Practice  

Whilst thousands of our patients come from Birmingham, the West Midlands and the many surrounding towns, Worcester , Warwick, Leamington Spa etc., many hundreds visit us from all over the country - simply because we specialise! In 1973 when we opened, our very first patient flew in from Paris to be fitted. Today we have patients who make special visits to us who live in Europe and even Hong Kong, the Caribbean and the MIddle East -- proof perhaps that if you care sufficiently about your eye care, distance is no barrier.
