Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations utilise cutting-edge technology including Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) and Digital Retinal Photography. These advanced diagnostic tools enable early detection of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. The examination process includes visual field assessments and corneal topography mapping, ensuring thorough evaluation of both eye health and vision quality for patients of all ages.
Ortho-K Therapy
Orthokeratology treatment involves wearing custom-designed contact lenses overnight to temporarily reshape the cornea. This non-surgical solution provides clear daytime vision without corrective eyewear. Ideal for myopia management in children and active adults, the therapy uses Eyedream technology with regular follow-up appointments to monitor progress and maintain optimal results through six-month lens replacements.
Prescription Eyewear
We offer an extensive selection of premium eyewear from renowned brands including Mykita, Silhouette, and Oakley. Our qualified dispensing opticians provide expert frame fitting services, with options ranging from budget-friendly designs to luxury collections. All purchases include a 1-year manufacturing guarantee covering defects in frames and lenses, along with lifetime maintenance support.
Contact Lenses
Our contact lens services include specialist fittings for complex prescriptions and hard-to-fit patients. We supply daily disposables, toric lenses, and multifocal options from leading manufacturers like Acuvue and Bausch + Lomb. The EyeCare Scheme offers discounted pricing and unlimited follow-up appointments, ensuring ongoing comfort and optimal vision correction for both occasional and regular wearers.

In partnership with Amplify Hearing, we provide comprehensive audiology services including diagnostic hearing tests and tinnitus management.

Report
Always the warmest of welcomes at this opticians! From a very comprehensive eye examination to expert help and advice in choosing the best glasses, every base covered. The combination of a thorough eye test and its outcome enable Neil to use his many years experience to suggest which frame and lenses best enhance my features and vision. The exquisitely made 'Bevels' were his frame of choice. They are so comfortable, well constructed, light yet robust, and so 'on trend' without being OTT, perfect! Finally, Nikon lenses to give me the perfect visual experience! I cannot recommend highly enough Neil and his team at David Spicers Opticians.

I can see again. I am the wrong side of 50 and had not appreciated how my eyes had deteriorated, as I have never worn glasses I got by with ready readers. Now I have a glasses that work with my eyes and the activities I enjoy. It makes such a difference to take time to understand what i need the glasses for. Thanks to the whole team that helped make a big difference to me.

I received a great service from Neil and his team of staff prior and after cataract surgery. Nothing was too much trouble. A highly recommended practice which has parking available right in front of the shop (free for up to 2 hours).

The best optician that I've ever used, and I've used quite a few. Very helpful staff, excellent advice, and very good selection of frames from manufacturers that aren't commonly available from the large high street chains. Highly recommended for optical services in Oxford.
