Services
Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations check vision and detect early signs of eye conditions. Available for private and NHS patients, these tests include preliminary assessments and prescription analysis tailored to lifestyle needs. Using OCT technology, we provide in-depth eye health evaluations to identify potential issues like glaucoma or macular degeneration.
Contact Lens Fitting
We offer specialist contact lens assessments and fittings for all vision correction needs. Our optometrists help patients select from daily or monthly disposable lenses, rigid gas-permeable options, and toric lenses for astigmatism. We also provide myopia-control contact lenses specifically designed for children and teenagers.
Children's Eyecare
Our child-friendly practice specialises in eye tests and vision care for young patients. We offer myopia management solutions and durable, stylish frames designed for active lifestyles. Our team ensures examinations are fun and stress-free while monitoring eye development that affects lifelong vision health.
Hearing Care
Our hearing care services include comprehensive assessments, wax removal, and tinnitus management. Led by specialist audiologist Fatema Narband, we provide hearing devices, live demonstrations of latest technology, and full aftercare support. We also offer ear wax removal that's quick, easy, and pain-free.
OCT Scans
Our hospital-grade OCT scanner creates detailed 3D images of eye structures to detect conditions like glaucoma. This advanced technology allows optometrists to examine beneath the eye's surface, identifying potential problems with the optic nerve or macular degeneration that standard tests might miss.

Report
I wanted to get my eyes checked but decided to check this website first to see if I should use this optician and I'm liking what I see. Under the eye health category they have a list of topics on the eye with a definition e.g. you tap myopia and it will show you what it means or just click eye health and it will show you a lot of tips on what you should or shouldn't do. It even shows a summary of their health care services and what is included in the service and they allow you to book online then there's the services category which shows you all the services available in Gordon Thomas. Their contact information is displayed for any inquiries you may have. After checking their website Im making sure to go to Gordon Thomas for my eye test.

This was my first visit to Gordon Thomas, and it was for an emergency appointment after experiencing vision disturbance in one eye. The optician who examined my eyes (Urja) was very thorough, professional and reassuring, and overall the service that I received in the store was excellent. They seem to have a great selection of frames as well so I will definitely be returning to them next time I need new glasses!

Great family friendly optician. We had a lovely optician called Marcus who was able to evade my 10 year olds deception so she could get to wear glasses . Very honest. Great range of glasses and latest testing technology.
