Services
Eye Examinations
We offer comprehensive NHS and private eye examinations using the latest diagnostic technology. Our tests assess vision quality, detect eye diseases like glaucoma and macular degeneration, and monitor overall eye health. Patients receive detailed explanations of results and tailored recommendations for corrective solutions.
Contact Lenses
With over 20 years of expertise, we provide custom contact lens fittings from global manufacturers. Our services include specialist lenses for astigmatism, presbyopia, and keratoconus, alongside daily, monthly, and extended-wear options. We ensure comfort, clarity, and suitability for individual lifestyles.
Myopia Control
Designed for children and young adults, our myopia control programme slows nearsightedness progression. Using orthokeratology and specialist lenses, we aim to reduce dependency on glasses while managing long-term eye health risks associated with worsening myopia.
OCT Scans
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scans provide 3D imaging of retinal layers for early disease detection. This non-invasive test identifies conditions like glaucoma and diabetes-related damage up to six years earlier than traditional methods, enabling timely intervention.
Orthokeratology
Our orthokeratology service uses custom rigid lenses worn overnight to temporarily reshape the cornea. This treatment corrects mild to moderate myopia during sleep, offering clear daytime vision without glasses or contact lenses for suitable candidates.

Rang for an emergency appointment for my partner, was so grateful to be seen so quickly. (Sat 25th Sept) Referred him as an emergency to Singleton Hospital Ward 1. Was seen and treated within 30 minutes there. (metal in the centre of his eye) Excellent service by both!

Very helpful dispensers - thank you! The dispensing opticians have endless amounts of patience and will go the extra mile every time. They were also recommended by Cardiff University Optometrists to us.

Report
I have been with Judith Roberts Opticians now for nearly 4 years under the care of Hannah for Ortho K treatment. I have since moved out of the area (around a 2 hour drive away) but could not bring myself to change opticians as I did not think anywhere near me was as good as the service provided at Judith Roberts opticians. The service is fantastic and Hannah is a brilliant optician. I thank Judith Roberts Opticians (particularly Austin and Hannah) for introducing me to OrthoK- it has completely changed my life and can't imagine going back to wearing glasses or having bad eyesight ever again. I went from -3.5 in both eyes to now having 20/20 vision. What a difference it's made!
