Do you struggle to find the right glasses for you?

Have you been faced with choosing your glasses from rows and rows of frames, trying on lots of pairs glasses that all look the same without much help? Maybe you need petite glasses, but the only choice offered to you is from the children’s section.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS

Don’t just take our word for it

Our number of 5 star reviews is always growing. Here is what some of our current clients have to say

We have used Village Optician for a few years now. Having tried the usual High St opticians previously, we find them very professional, friendly, nothing is too much trouble, and they take time to explain any issues. It is refreshing not to be rushed and feel pressured into buying new spectacles at every visit.

The Hudspeths

I visited the Village opticians recently and today collected my new glasses. From the first meeting with the staff to collecting my glasses what a fantastic experience everyone has been so friendly and helpful. I explained I had a problem getting a frame to fit correctly, they told me It wouldn’t be a problem they could sort it. This is the first time I have gone to collect glasses and have them fit first time also the lens they recommended are great. I saw the reviews on line before I visited this opticians and can say I agree with their comments. Your eyesight is precious and this opticians go the extra mile to make sure you receive the best treatment.

I have used The Village Optician for the first time and have been very impressed with the service I have received. I felt the eye test was very thorough and choosing new frames was easy as their range is extensive. Very professional and friendly service from start to finish. I highly recommend this opticians.

For our first post of 2023 I thought I'd make it a clinical one and talk a little about an eye disease that everyone has heard of but not many know what it actually is - Glaucoma. Now Glaucoma is a little tricky to even explain what it is, there are a few different types of Glaucoma (or "the Glaucomas") which makes it even more difficult. But here goes!

Who Doesn't love a mince pie?

Well, it's already Christmas again! The terribly predictive Christmas films are on (In my house anyway, I think it's time for some classics now, if my wife is reading this), the trees are up, the lights are flashing, we've eaten more than our fair share of mince pies (who doesn't love a mince pie?) and we've had our traditional staff Christmas curry night. This year seems to have flown over again, and now I've got a cup of tea and a mince pie in hand it's time for a little reflection
