Services
Eye Examinations
Our thorough eye examinations utilise cutting-edge technology to assess vision and eye health. Specialised optometrists dedicate time to each patient, ensuring accurate diagnoses and personalised care plans. Regular check-ups help detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma or macular degeneration, promoting long-term ocular wellness.
Myopia Management
We offer innovative treatments to slow myopia progression in children, including orthokeratology lenses and Hoya MiYOSMART spectacle lenses. These non-invasive solutions reduce dependency on corrective eyewear while lowering risks of future eye diseases linked to high myopia, such as retinal detachment.
Dry Eye Treatment
Advanced diagnostics evaluate tear film quality and anterior eye health. Customised treatments, including preservative-free lubricants and BlephEx lid cleaning, alleviate discomfort caused by dry eyes. Our approach addresses underlying causes, such as environmental factors or blepharitis, for lasting relief.
Children's Eyewear
Lightweight, durable frames designed for childrens facial structures ensure comfort and fit. Adjustable styles and vibrant designs encourage consistent wear, supporting visual development critical to learning and social interaction. We provide expert guidance on selecting age-appropriate eyewear.
Contact Lenses
From daily disposables to orthokeratology lenses, we offer tailored contact solutions for all prescriptions. Our optometrists ensure proper fitting and provide aftercare to maintain eye health. Home delivery options and recycling programs enhance convenience and sustainability for long-term wearers.

Support local! I've been been visiting Scott Gilmour for about 10 years. The Optician (possibly the owner) is great. Even better, the staff that help you select glasses are the stars of the show - from the minute you arrive, they are friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Their service is exemplary and so I'll never go anywhere else now.

I go here for annual eye tests and always get a very thorough examination (from the owner I think). Recently I had a minor issue and whilst they couldn't see me about it due to Covid restrictions, I received a phone call later that day from an optician (I don't think it was the owner) who explained what to do and why to do it. The problem cleared up within a couple of days. I think small businesses like this rely on local word--of-mouth recommendations and it probably won't have targets like some of its larger rivals.

I went in recently to buy sunglasses and the girl couldn't have been any more helpful. She not only helped me to buy a fab pair of new sunglasses but was also kind enough to tighten my old ones
