We are an independent, family owned optometrists (opticians) practice based in South Hetton, Durham. We offer NHS and private eye examinations and are happy to examine patients of all  ages.

• Our practice is centred around you – the patient. We don’t have dispensing or sales targets. We offer longer than average appointment times – no rushing you in and out.

• All our eye examinations are carried out by Richard Naisbitt – registered with the General Optical Council and member of the College of Optometrists. You will see the same practitioner at every visit.

• Free eye examinations and spectacles for NHS qualifying patients.

• Quality and value for money eyewear. Patients who have previously visited national chains are usually surprised by how competitive our prices are.

• Our eye examinations include digital retinal photography at no extra charge.

• We fit all types of contact lenses including daily disposable, toric (to correct astigmatism) and varifocal.

• Same day spectacle glazing service available.
