We are not just another optician. We do things differently. Simply put, we sell great quality eyewear at an affordable price, usually around 1/3 less compared to your average high street opticians.
We are a spectacle dispensing outfit, which means you don’t have your eye test with us. Have your eyes tested by your regular optician, then book an appointment with us, bringing your prescription with you. This gives us and you a massive advantage.
We take the time to ensure you get exactly what you want from your new glasses.
We have become the ‘go to’ opticians in Basingstoke for outstanding eyewear, expert advice and excellent service.
When you come to see us, you will always have service from the same person. Owners Ben and Barry are our optical dispensing professionals and have over 45 years experience in the optical industry between them. You can be sure that you will be looked after with every aspect of your eyewear by some of the best and most experienced in the business.
We know that it can be daunting to be faced with racks of frames, so our friendly, knowledgeable team of optical professionals will guide you, help you to select frames that work well for you and will provide expert guidance on lenses and coatings.
We don’t provide eye tests for a reason. It’s expensive. The price of spectacles are always inflated to recoup lost costs at your typical opticians. We don’t need to do this because we don’t have to cover that expense. Which means that your glasses will always be more affordable with us, even for luxury, high end designer branded spectacle frame ranges, and the latest in high quality digital lens options.
We are an independent dispensing optician practice, owned by Ben and Barry, who have over 45 years optical industry experience between them.
Together with our small, friendly and highly capable team we have been providing quality eyewear in Basingstoke since 2007. We pride ourselves on our personal, professional service at a relaxed pace to ensure you get exactly what you are looking for.
