Our Vision and Values
At Eye Gallery Opticians, we’ve created a practice that challenges conventional optometry by elevating every aspect of your experience. We’re passionate about combining clinical expertise with aesthetic sensibility, recognising that excellent vision and beautiful eyewear are equally important to our patients’ wellbeing and confidence. Our values centre on integrity, expertise, and personalisation. We invest in the latest diagnostic equipment including Optomap ultra-widefield imaging and advanced corneal mapping technology, ensuring you receive the most comprehensive eye examinations available. We select our eyewear collections with meticulous care, choosing independent brands like Cutler & Gross, Orgreen, Anne et Valentin, and KameManNen that share our commitment to exceptional quality. Every patient receives our undivided attention, unhurried appointments, and honest advice tailored to their individual needs.
Comprehensive Eye Health Services
Our clinical services encompass the full spectrum of contemporary eyecare. Advanced eye examinations form the foundation of our practice, incorporating retinal imaging, intraocular pressure measurements, and detailed visual assessments that detect conditions early when they’re most treatable. We offer specialist services including contact lens assessments for all lens types, orthokeratology for overnight vision correction, and comprehensive dry eye diagnostics and treatment. Our Optomap retinal imaging captures over 80% of your retina, screening not just for eye conditions but indicators of systemic health issues including diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Whether you require routine eye examinations, complex prescription solutions, or management of ongoing eye conditions, our experienced optometrists provide expert care with warmth, professionalism, and genuine concern for your long-term eye health.
Curated Eyewear Collections
Our frame collections reflect our belief that eyewear should inspire confidence and express individuality. We’ve assembled an exclusive selection of independent designers renowned for innovation, craftsmanship, and distinctive aesthetics. Each brand brings unique design philosophy: British luxury from Cutler & Gross, Danish minimalism from Orgreen, French artistry from Anne et Valentin, and Japanese precision from KameManNen.
Our frame styling consultations go beyond simple selection, considering your facial features, colouring, lifestyle, and personal style to recommend eyewear that enhances your natural beauty. We supply premium contact lens brands including Acuvue, Dailies, Biofinity, and Proclear, offering solutions for every prescription and lifestyle. Quality, durability, and timeless design characterise every product we offer, ensuring your investment delivers years of wearing pleasure.

How often should I have an eye examination?
We recommend comprehensive eye examinations every two years for most adults. However, annual appointments are advisable if you’re over 60, have diabetes, take certain medications, have a family history of eye disease, wear contact lenses, or experience vision changes. Our optometrists will recommend the most appropriate schedule based on your individual eye health and risk factors.
Can I purchase frames without having an eye test at your practice?
Yes, you can purchase frames with a current prescription from another optometrist. However, we recommend having your eye examination with us to ensure your prescription is current and your eye health is optimal. Certain prescriptions require specific frame considerations, and our optometrists can advise on the most suitable options for your visual needs during frame selection.
