Services
Eye Examinations
Our comprehensive eye examinations assess both vision correction needs and ocular health. Using retinal imaging and OCT technology, we detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma and macular degeneration. The 30-minute assessment includes intraocular pressure measurement, visual field testing, and detailed discussion of results.
Contact Lenses
We specialise in custom contact lens fittings for all prescriptions and eye conditions. Our optometrists fit daily disposables, toric lenses for astigmatism, and specialist designs for keratoconus. The process includes trial lenses, comfort assessments, and usage instruction to ensure optimal vision and eye health.
Hearing Care
Our audiology services include diagnostic hearing tests, tinnitus management, and hearing aid provision. Using pure-tone audiometry and tympanometry, we identify hearing loss causes and recommend appropriate interventions. We offer Beltone hearing aids with custom programming and follow-up adjustments.
Eyewear Styling
Our experienced opticians assist with selecting frames that complement facial features and lifestyle needs. We offer designer brands like DKNY and Longchamp alongside our Equal range of unbranded eyewear. The styling process includes face shape analysis and multiple trial options to ensure customer satisfaction.
Keratoconus Solutions
We provide custom rigid gas permeable lenses for keratoconus patients. Our fitting process uses corneal topography to create lenses that correct distorted vision while maintaining comfort. We offer ongoing adjustments and aftercare to ensure long-term success with these specialist contact lenses.

Started going here for my son as had a better range of frames for him to choose from, however I prefer specsavers. Bigger, friendlier and more convenient as in town.

The worst place I have ever been. The woman who called optician, who served us today was just horrible, no empathy, no professional at all. I would like to make an official Complaint about this, how she treated me and my son. Very bad place to go with your child.

Outstanding service and product. I used S/savers to start with and recieved glasses (vari-focal),,s o so inferior to Bridle Opticians, that I barely used them. Poundland was better, truth! Within seconds of trying on Bridles lenses a new world opened up. Outstanding vari-focals. Lenses are amazing. Thank you staff at Bridles, another customer for life.

CatharinenW Toddler eye test The most rudest stuck up environment I've ever been in. Having to wait outside for a 2pm appointment when standing on their doorstep at 1.55 with a 3yr old toddler after having to put drops in his eyes which is uncomfortable in sunlight, still was not allowed in out of the sunshine, knocked on the door at 2pm - even though the appointment was at 2pm- to be met by 2 unfriendly receptionists who complained their lunch break was cut short by 2 mins!
By the way it wasn't! We knocked on the door for our 2pm appointment at 2pm! After being allowed in we waited 10mins for our son to have his eye test having to listen to the receptionists complain about their lunch break, the optician was OK, I had to ask questions as didn't understand the phrase of no prescription needed? Walking out was very uncomfortable, felt very judged and will never go back again or recommend others.

Horrendous customer service. Had to wait for them to get back from lunch at 2pm (exactly) for a 2pm appointment? So had to wait outside. Waited for 10 minutes whilst the loudly discussed their lives. Apparently they are experts in children's eyecare but they are certainly not experts in how to deal with or talk to children. My 4 year old child asked innocent questions which the snotty optician either didn't reply to or gave a passive aggressive answer.
Only reason I go there is because the hospital reccommends them for children (god knows why) but ill be making a complaint to them too. Never seen a business treat its customers like that before but I certainly won't be giving them my custom anymore. P. S. I'm really not the type to complain but this experience was just too bad not to.
