Worth knowing
Time to test properly
Half an hour, with the health of the eye checked as well as the prescription.
Told plainly
If nothing has changed, we say so. A test is not a sale.
Frames at every price
From plain and sturdy to the ones you will be pleased with for years.
Fitted, not just sold
Pupil distance and heights measured for your frame, so varifocals land where they should.

The practiceLooking after eyes, not shifting frames
A sight test is a health check that happens to end in glasses. We measure the prescription, look at the back of the eye, compare it with last time, and tell you what we see.
When you do need glasses, we take the time to get them right: the lens for the distance you actually work at, the coating that earns its place, and a frame that suits your face rather than the window display.
