Eye Care

We are proud to provide a truly personal, professional eye care service. Our optometrists have a genuine intetrest in you and your vision and offer honest, reliable advice and guidance. We are always willing to go the extra mile.

We treat colour blindness with chromogen soft contact lenses and co-manage diseases such as Glaucoma and Diabetes with local Ophthalmologists.

Andrew Matheson, Director of Matheson Optometrists was the first optometrist in the UK to obtain the British College qualification in Ocular Therapeutics. He holds many specialist qualifications and is registered with BUPA and other private health care providers, and accepts referrals from consultant eye surgeons such as James Kirwan and Andrew Luff.

Specialising in Anterior Eye therapy, in particular treating dry eye, Meibomian Gland Dysfunction and Blepharitis, he first started in this field in the late 1980's and has fitted punctal implants for over 20 years.

He has a steady stream of patients from all parts of the UK and even some from further afield.

 

Technology

We pride ourselves on using the best diagnostic equipment available.

We have Zeiss Cirrus OCT devices in all of our practices which enable us to view your retina and other areas of your eyes which we would be unable to view without this equipment.

We are able to perform autofluorescence photography. This enables us to take photographs of your retina, filtering out all but a small wavelength of light, enableing us to capture images which cannot be taken with traditional retinal photography.

We use Zeiss Humphrey visual screening equipment in all our practices. In the profession this equipment is deemed the gold standard.

We have both Essilors Visioffice digital measuring system and the iTerminal Mobile by Zeiss. This enables us to take the measurements required for bespoke lenses which cannot be taken with any other device.

We also have the option to take mutiple photographs of you wearing our frames to aid with selection

 

Spectacles

As a family run independent group of practices, we are free of the constraints many larger chains of Opticians face. We are free to source the best frames, sunglasses, spectacle lenses and contact lenses available and are not tied to any particular suppliers. We source our products based on quality, style and aftersales service.

We are confident we have something for everyone, from high end luxury frames such as Mykita and Lindberg, resonably priced designer ranges such as Calvin Klein, Nike, Lacsote and Jaeger, Small neiche brands such as Rock Optika and of course our own brand high quality ranges.

We stock Maui Jim Sunglasses, arguably the best sunglasses money can buy. We also stock Zeal, designer and own brand styles. Most of our sunglasses can be made with your prescription.

We can provide lenses produced by all the leading manufacturers including Zeiss and Kodak, both renowned and respected lens manufacturers.
