Whitakers Opticians has been an independently owned, family run business since 1932. Following a health scare in 2014-15, Jonathan Whitaker (the third generation of the Whitaker family to own the business) took the immense decision to sell the practice. He was delighted when two long standing professional members of staff, David Armitage and Richard Barker, agreed to purchase the business as he knew that David and Richard would continue to work tirelessly to maintain the reputation of Whitakers Opticians, built over the past 80 years.

Report
A typical adult eye exam lasts around 30 minutes. We prioritise patient comfort and care, so examinations are conducted in a spacious, air-conditioned consulting room offering complete privacy. Our highly trained optometrist team use a series of different tests and examinations tailor made to the individual's problems and visual requirements.

Report
We take photos of the back of the eye so that we can build up a long term picture of how the eyes are changing over time. Our computerised test chart is the modern way of providing letters to read during the eye examination. It allows lower case letters, pictures and shapes for children and those with learning difficulties.
