Eye care shaped around real people

Independent opticians should do more than check your sight. We take time to understand how you use your vision every day, from reading and screen work to driving and hobbies. We've cared for people for years, with a practice built on tailored advice rather than rushed appointments. We've invested in up-to-date testing equipment so your eye examination is thorough, clear, and focused on long-term eye health. That matters when small vision changes start affecting your comfort or when early signs need spotting before they become bigger problems.

 

Our friendly and knowledgeable team at Advanced Vision listens to what matters to you, helping us build lasting relationships rather than treating every visit as a one-off. Whether you need your first frame as a child, a stylish option for everyday wear, or a specialist solution for a particular hobby, we'll help you find something that fits your lifestyle. You'll find a comfortable, welcoming approach here, with honest guidance and no pressure to purchase.

A far better experience than your big-name opticians! An extensive eye examination with lots of personal advice and information rather than the standard eye test with a prescription on the high street.

The optician was brilliant, the staff were excellent, there was lots of choice, and it was great value for money! Would definitely recommend.

Experience that supports your sight

With 15 years in optics, our current practice owner brings experience across busy retail practice, clinical settings, pre-registration supervision, and post-operative assessments for laser and intraocular lens treatments. Advanced Vision continues to build on that knowledge through ongoing education, because eye care never stands still. Our optical advisers also bring years of hands-on experience when helping you compare frames, lens options, and specialist solutions. 

 

Our fully equipped examination facilities support comprehensive eye care performed to high standards, with technology that helps us focus on early detection as well as your long-term eye health. If you're choosing a first pair for your child or trying to find something comfortable for daily wear, we'll talk you through it in plain English.
