Our comprehensive eye examinations assess vision clarity, eye health, and potential conditions like glaucoma or macular degeneration. Using advanced technology such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), we provide accurate prescriptions and early detection of ocular diseases. Suitable for all ages, including children and seniors, our exams ensure optimal eye health and visual comfort.

We offer free hearing assessments to evaluate auditory health and identify hearing loss or tinnitus. Our qualified audiologists use state-of-the-art equipment for accurate diagnostics, including ear wax removal via microsuction. Services cater to adults seeking improved hearing solutions, ensuring clear communication and quality of life.

Specialised eye care for infants, children, and teenagers ensures healthy visual development.

Been coming here for 40+ years. Very friendly staff, nothing is too much trouble. I've popped in before to sort out my nose pads on my glasses and they always fit me in and adjust them as needed. Just really good attentive service.

I spent 850 on a pair of glasses, I told them I didn't want varifocals, but that is what they gave me in the end. Totally useless as I can't read a thing out of them. In the end a total waste of money and am now using a 2 pair from wilkos' Also spend 500 on a pair for my husband, he has since died so as no use for them. 1500 and a total waste of money. Just wanted a pair that I wouldn' have to keep taking on and off again.

More like Shameful Opticians. Putting spikes on the window sills outside to stop homeless people sitting or even sleeping along them at night times is despicable! Then trying to condone it by saying it's to stop skaters?! I'm telling you now, boarders can still grind those spots. It's obviously to keep homeless away!

Been using Sheinmans for 30 years - not the cheapest but when it comes to eyesight I think they're worth it! Their Eyemap system is excellent. Good customer service

Upon booking i was told i might have a charge due to wanting a from signing for a Motor racing licence. Had the eye test no mention of charge, upon paying charged 10. when i inquired why, i was told it was a standard charge. raised to the manager who was most unhelpful, if this is a standard charge why was i not told so when booking. Very poor service and wont get better when the manager has such a poor attitude. Optician was very good and very helpful.
