Glasses
We offer Northern Ireland's most exclusive eyewear collection from designer brands like Chloe and Silhouette. Our opticians provide expert frame fitting and lens customization, combining fashion-forward designs with advanced optical technology. Each selection comes with personalized styling advice to ensure both visual clarity and aesthetic appeal.
Contact Lenses
Our specialists provide comprehensive contact lens fittings for all vision requirements. We stock premium brands and offer trial lenses to ensure comfort. The service includes aftercare appointments and training for first-time wearers, with options for daily disposables and extended wear lenses.
Dry Eye Clinic
This specialist clinic addresses chronic dry eye symptoms through advanced diagnostics and personalized treatment plans. We use the latest tear film analysis technology to identify underlying causes, offering solutions from medicated drops to punctal plugs for long-term relief and improved ocular health.
Eye Exams
Our comprehensive eye examinations use state-of-the-art OCT 3D scanning and Optos wide-field technology. The 30-minute tests detect early signs of eye disease while assessing visual acuity. Results are explained in plain language with clear recommendations for corrective measures or further specialist care.
Myopia Management
Specially designed for children and young adults, this program slows progressive short-sightedness through orthokeratology lenses and atropine therapy. Regular monitoring tracks effectiveness while maintaining clear vision. Treatments are tailored to individual eye development patterns for optimal outcomes.

Got my 5 year old son tested today by the lovely Roisn. Fantastic! He was a nervous wreck going in & came out asking to go again soon. Excellent service, Roisin was fantastic, thorough & so caring throughout the test. I Will be taking the whole family there from now on!

Having just had a cataract removed from one of my eyes I needed a new lens to be fitted to my already existing spectacles. I made an appointment, was seen quickly, and am now able to read again with no trouble. The standard of care was professional and courteous, and I am happy to whole heartedly recommend P J Brogan Opticians.

Each year I have my eyes tested in PJ Brogan Opticians. I have always admired their thoroughness. This year 2017 i had a very careful examination from the niece of two art teachers that I knew. Kat Busch and Roisin Keague, I have real confidence in her carefulness and reflectiveness. New: My visit this year was very satisfactory. The optician filled me with confidence as she was careful and unhurried. The new eye testing machine made that part of the examination easier. I was happy when the light dot test was over that the outcome was good.
