Staff in this service provide spectacles for adults and children to treat certain eye conditions. Our spectacle dispensing service is one of the largest of its type within the UK.
Our dispensing opticians interpret the prescription created during a refraction test and advise on the best spectacle lens type and design to achieve the best possible visual and cosmetic outcome.
They have a wide and varied experience in spectacle dispensing and are therefore able to advise on complex and challenging prescriptions.
The range of frames that we stock is aimed at all age groups, taking into account currents trends and fashions.
Some of the spectacles that we dispense are manufactured on site within our in-house manufacturing facility
