Eyecare

A personalised approach to eyecare

We believe that every patient deserves the highest standard of clinical care. That is why we invest in technology that allows us to deliver remarkable accuracy and a more detailed understanding of your eye health. As one of only a few practices in Scotland to use the Essilor AVA VR800 refraction system we are able to refine prescriptions with outstanding precision.

Enhanced imaging such as Optomap and OCT gives us a deeper view of your eyes, allowing for early detection of concerns and more tailored advice. Under the guidance of Stephen, our resident optometrist, your eye examination is calm, thorough and centred entirely around your needs.

Eyewear

Eyewear without compromise

Our eyewear collections reflect our belief that glasses should feel as good as they look. With frames from leading designers, including Lindberg, Tom Ford, Oliver Peoples, Orgreen, Bevel, Woodys and more, we bring together craftsmanship, style and comfort to offer something truly special.

Lens quality is equally important. With Ross, our practice manager and experienced lab technician, glazing is carried out with exceptional care using premium Zeiss lenses. Digital measurements through Visioffice ensure every pair is crafted precisely for you, resulting in natural, effortless vision.

Our experienced optical assistants, Shirley, Mandy and Dianne, guide you through the process with warmth and expertise, helping you explore frames that suit your prescription, personality and lifestyle.
